[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People drink out of loneliness, depression, and boredom. Truly fulfilled people don't need it.[/quote]

I know you're a troll, but you're not far off.

I've got enough stuff going on in my life I don't have much time to have a drink, the things I do enjoy would rarely be enhanced by drinking and the things I dont' like would almost universally be made worse by drinking.

I've got no problem with casually having a drink with a friend if I'm at their house, or if I'm out to dinner having wine with dinner or meeting someone at a bar for some cocktails, but it's just not part of my daily life. And I really can't fathom the lives of people who it is.[/quote]

That's not trolling, that's straight from a Billy Graham sermon, which I heard last week on his Sirius XM station, which just replays his sermons all day.

[quote][i]"Are you lonely? One of the principle causes of loneliness is alcoholism and drug use. Alcohol and drugs are efforts to escape loneliness. Drugs take you on a trip and being drunk makes you feel that you've got somebody with you. On the other hand, going with Christ is a trip in which you really, always have Jesus with you as your Lord and companion. You cannot drink your way out of loneliness. Most young people turn to drugs for kicks and get hooked, or peer pressure. But thousands turn to drugs because of loneliness."[/i] - Billy Graham, 1987 in Denver, Colorado

Graham's life and ministry were marked by a strong emphasis on abstinence from alcohol and a focus on personal moral integrity. He actively preached against the dangers of alcoholism, viewing it as a sin and a societal problem. His close relationships with other prominent figures, like US presidents and other religious leaders, also reinforce his commitment to a sober and principled lifestyle. Graham consistently condemned alcoholism in his sermons and writings, presenting it as a sin and a destructive force.[/quote]
