On drinking again
I came across this quote in an essay I just read for a class so I thought I would share it. It's talking about how there are some churches that condemn drinking so much that their members end up believing that drinking anything must be a sin. The quote is as follows, "Bible and sermons and hymns combined to give us the impression that Moses should have brought down from the mountain another stone tablet, bearing the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not drink." The essay is "Under the Influence" by Scott Russell Sanders. I highly suggest you check it out if you're interested in alcoholics and the effect is has on their children.
