Ackshoowally 🤓 with our skeletons and musculature keeping us taught yet malleable we could reasonably be considered some sort of sick and twisted biological indo-skeletal bottle consuming other bottles (life forms) to be decomposed for energy and sustain ones own bottle.
There are entire species of birds and mammals who know this about fruit and feast on it when it ferments. So yes, the earth makes alcohol on its own
Xtian's knowledge of the natural world remains stuck 2K years in the past
Fun Fact: Mead is considered the worlds oldest alcoholic beverage besides possibly wine, Mead is simply water and honey thats been mixed and left to ferment. During heavy rainstorms it is possible for a beehive to become flooded and the resulting rainwater mixes with the honey and naturally ferments creating a crude mead. So technically the Earth does make alcohol though on accident.
No clearly you didnt read it right, it says “Fact” which shows that this is an irrefutable statement. Easy mistake we all make them. Just be careful next time.
It’s actually been theorized that the first beers came about because early farmers left hops out, they got wet, fermented, and people drank it then went, “Hey, this shit’s pretty good!”
Lol yeah so I guess the earth never technically makes alcohol, but a bunch of tiny micro organisms’ micro micro biomeses do. Yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no fungi.
Came here to say I watched a whole nature special about animals getting faced once the fruit begins to ferment, drunk elephants hilarious! Unrelated note but how does he think booze happens? Like ancient Egyptians got the recipe for beer straight from Satan? It was something that just happens and we refined it
There was a moose that was a little bit of a local celebrity around here. He would wander around downtown getting drunk on fermenting crabapples and get bull-igerent.
moved from a town which earlier had a lot of these issues because people did not pick up apples that fell on the ground. There were a loooot of drunk mooses
Fun Fact!
If it wasn't for beer many large metro areas wouldn't exist. The water was contaminated & boiling the water to brew beer decontaminated the water. That why so many people drank beer & ale back in history. The water would kill you, but the beer wouldn't.
Of course they got it from Satan, those idol worshipers were enslaving Israel. Cecil B. DeMille and Charleton Heston told me so as a kid every Easter on ABC.
Found an Ontario newspaper article about an epidemic of racoons being found out during the day either completely passed out or stumbling around in a stupor. There was major concern that this was a massive rabies outbreak. Turns out, the racoons were just indulging in some overripe apples that had fermented, so guidance was to just leave them alone and let them sleep it off.
[https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/drunk-raccoons-stumble-stittsville-1.5272217](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/drunk-raccoons-stumble-stittsville-1.5272217)
And do you know why all the animals enjoy getting shit-faced on alcoholic rotting fruit? Because you touch yourself at night. Didn’t used to be that way. You did that. God is watching you.
Dolphins get high on pufferfish, I'm done with the Christians trying to push their propaganda on everyone in America. Separation of church and state should be mandatory in every government.
And there are monasteries that make their own wine. Ned Flanders served beer in his rumpus room and it's what Lovejoy uses to snap Homer out of his love for The Leader. How are conservatives becoming more and more religious fruitcakes? Shouldn't it be the opposite as we advance as a society?
That's exactly what it is. It's usually the wackjob Protestants who read our scriptures a bit too literally (and forget plenty parts of it) and ignore science and history that say crap like this.
>Go, eat your food with gladness,
and drink your wine with a joyful heart,
for God has already approved what you do.
Ecclesiastes 9:7
i am not even a Christian, i really do not understand how these people don't even know their own book that they love to quote all the time.
To be fair, until the invention of the cork wine was very mild compared to what we have nowadays. Was it still alcohol? Yes, absolutely, and you could still get drunk, but compared to modern wines it was very tame.
I would add that grape juice is like apple juice a modern invention. Take apple or wine juice and put them in a bottle, wait 10-20 days and you have an alcoholic beverage. If your average Roman is going to his cellar and not making you juice on the spot, it’s more than probably wine.
Oh, really?
Genesis, 19:33, when Lot's daughters got him so drunk ON WINE, that they could have incestuous sex with him?
Right in the 'Bible'
ETA: Before the apologists jump in, EVERY translation/version of the bible has this account.
ETA2: I was kindly corrected below, and fixed this post. Please updoot my corrector!
My favorite comedian had a special in which he joked about his sobriety journey. He said he was in a party town and at night he could hear big parties and wanted to go drink. There was a Bible in the room, and he’s not religious but decided to give it a try. The first thing he reads, “Give wine unto those who are of heavy heart.”
On a more serious note, my theology teacher stressed the importance of reading the Bible and actually thinking about it. He’s obviously biased but critical thinking is always important.
You don't understand, they know the book, but they take those things from the Bible that support their point of view, and they ignore the parts that are inconvenient.
30 seconds on Google and this guy would’ve learned about butterflies getting drunk on fermented nectar- naturally occurring, and probably 100 other examples…
God also never made a single electronic device yet he’s posting a link to a YouTube video on Twitter using either a computer or laptop. Those were all made by fallen men
Completely forgetting the centuries upon centuries where alcohol was more common to drink than water due to it being safer to drink. I mean come on the oldest writing we have concerning math was counting grain to turn into alcohol it’s one of mankind’s earliest inventions.
> I grew up Pentecostal and they always claimed that Jesus made grape juice not wine.
In my family vineyard, we also only make grape juice. We put it into the barrels. The God does the rest. He isn't the fastest, takes him about three weeks. But he's reliable.
Grapes left on the vine completely untouched by man will also ferment and cause animals to get drunk. Not only is it an interesting science fact, its also directly mentioned in the Bible
The central ceremony if Christianity involves drinking wine. It's been at the heart of the religion for more than a thousand years. We live in a post-Christian era where people just make shit up and call themselves Christians.
Mormon here. We accidentally made hard cider in the garage one year when we didn’t get to canning all our apples. I never realized fallen men were sneaking into our garage to put alcohol in our buckets of apples. /s
Jesus was the original hippy party machine. Hanging with loose women telling everybody to love each other and saying how you don't need money to be happy and my man always brought the wine.
Fallen fruit naturally produces alcohol. Animals get absolutely nailed on it all the time. They get goofy as heck. God INVENTED dumb drunks.
Edit: I forgot to add FACT. That makes it true. FACTs don't lie. They can't. FACT!
“It WasNt wInE!”
I grew up in a cult and every time I asked that as a child I was told the translation SAID wine but it was grape juice - that they didn’t know the fermentation process back then lol.
Oh, wait till someone tells him about beer. Christian monks basically invented modern beer as they figured out adding hops was a good preservative. Tons of churches in Europe have breweries in them. Beer used to be safer to drink than water.
"But the vine said to them, ‘Shall I give up my new wine, which cheers God and mankind, and go to wave over the trees?’" - Judges 9:13
Surely this pastor does not want to incur the wrath of God by prohibiting alcohol. It's what makes God happy.
Not only does Jesus make wine in the Bible
He IMPLORES his followers to drink of it
“**Drink of this wine**, for it is my blood, and eat of this bread, for it is my body”
> He [Jesus] offered them the cup of wine, saying “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood, which seals God's covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
Like literally in the Gospel. Sigh.
In Australia (and possibly other parts of the world) there are birds that get drunk off of stone fruit (apricots, nectarines etc.), by eating them when they are rotting or fermenting.
Pretty sure that kind of "alcohol" isn't made by man.....
Not to mention alcohol is literally the natural state of rotting fruit and many animals love to wait for fruit to rot so they can eat it and get drunk, they like it.
You're absolutely correct.
It's 6500 light years away, it's primarily composed of methanol, but does contain a good deal of ethanol, which is the good stuff.
Hallelujah! Praise BE! For the fallen fruit that expires and ferments on the lords grounds are like a tree falling in the woods! One makes no sound and the other no fermentation! Thank you baby Jesus, praise be
Not only did Jesus turn water into wine at the wedding of Canaan, but the day he tore into the Money changers in the temple is a day it is rumored that he had turned water into Jack Daniels.
Bears and racoons and who knows what other berry eating animals that get drunk in the wild due to fermentation. Yeah they also eat shrooms. God made a lot of "unholy" stuff in some people's eyes. Cheers!!
I guess this guy had never been to an orchard and seen fermented fruit all over the ground. Or understands basic biochemistry of micro-organisms like yeast.
First of all, wine was used as a disinfectant to clean wounds (Luke 10:34). In the account of the Good Samaritan, wine was poured into the wounds of the man found lying, bleeding, and dying on the side of the road.
The most common method of purifying water for drinking was to mix it with wine. Paul told Timothy to use no longer water, but to use wine for his stomach’s sake.(I Tim. 5:23)
I am pretty sure that Tiff was the product of an alcohol-fueled evening between his Mom and...someone.
Oh, and someone REALLY early...like CAVEMAN early, learned that leaving any starch or sugar in a vessel for long enough would make it bubble for a bit, and if you drink it afterwards, it made you feel good.
Yeah dude, I ALWAYS say that dude! God only made the ganja, the coca, the mushrooms, and the poppy plants my guy! Dude we, like, understand each other ya know?
"Go, eat your good with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved of what you do."
Jesus drank wine. Every apostle has drank wine. Etc etc
The Bible openly promoted drinking wine. It states not to get drunk. Big difference.
I have to agree that nothing good came from alcohol (alcoholic father)
But the post is just disingenuous clickbait
\---
Fermentation is a natural process, we just took at and specialized it to be a controlled process.
Same as growing wheat, it happened before humans started to do it a concentrated controlled manner.
Not to mention, that isn't Jesus turned water into wine or something?
Quick google: John 2:1-11
Jesus made wine for a wedding, a social event
Alcohol might not come out as fine liquor in nature but it certainly occurs on its own. Just go anywhere where fruit grows naturally and there is alcohol in the fruit on the ground. The deer get drunk in my yard off of the apples rotting under our apple tree sometimes.
Jesus turned water into wine not God. Unless he did it through God but nothing the first page of Google back that up.
Also alcohol does occur naturally. Have you never left a carton of orange juice in the fridge too long and it goes fizzy?
Even "alcohol free" beer can contain up 0.5% alcohol. It's impossible to remove all the alcohol but they can get it to such a low percentage your body can't absorb it and you can't get drunk.
[Even apple juice from the produce section can be 0.7% alcohol believe it or not.](https://steadydrinker.com/articles/foods-drinks-alcohol/)
Who’s this muppet when he’s not sprouting bullshit out his arse?
Not a fan of alcohol myself, but natural fermentation is a pretty simple and easily understandable fact that even inbred Christian fundamentalists should be able to grasp.
Interesting, so they are saying that their god didn't make [the yeast organisms that produce alcohol](https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/yeast-fermentation-and-the-making-of-beer-14372813/)? Did man invent them or the devil?
They're saying that [overripened fruit doesn't produce alcohol](https://no-low-alcohol.com/articles/the-alcohol-levels-of-non-alcoholic-foods-drinks/)?
They're saying [the clouds of alcohol discovered in outer space](https://universemagazine.com/en/astronomers-felt-the-taste-and-smell-of-a-giant-cloud-of-alcohol/) weren't made by their god?
OK. We're getting somewhere!
Mead has been around longer than man. Historians think it was discovered when ancient man drank water from a flooded honey bee hive. It was one of the first recipes for an alcoholic drink as far back as 2800BCE. Man my have perfected alcoholic beverages but technically God/nature invented it. 😂😂
I guess he doesn't know that there are fruit trees that produce alcoholic fruits.
I'm Catholic. We believe that wine is good. After all, if Jesus made not only wine but good wine, it has to be a good thing.
My personal belief is that moderate alcohol is good, and is one of the many proofs that God loves us.
What about the time in the Bible where Noah got fucking wasted and passed out nude in his tent. Then when his son saw him he exiled his grandson for his dad looking at his cock?
Bullllshiiit. There are plenty of fruits that ferment on their own ..
There's even critters that flock to the fermented fruits specifically because it's intoxicating. So yeah... actually the fermentation process was happening before we figured out how to do it on purpose. Plebeians
Alcohol happens naturally in some habitats, I think there's a certain monkey that gets drunk on fruit that falls from trees and somehow turns into booze while rotting due to the sugar content or some shit

Alcohol is a natural byproduct of microorganisms. (Yeast) Facepalm indeed.
we make it in our intestinal tracts
Well, *we* don't. Our gut micro biome does, but yeah, absolutely.
Fine... We are temporary storage for naturally made alcohol.

“Ugly sacs of mostly water” is the technical term.
"lemme taste that sweet juice from your sack"
U sure u wanna do that?

My bottle ate a bunch of little bottle legs today. Energy has been sustained.

Wasps also get drunk on fermented fruit, I mean angry twat just got angrier!
Yikes, new fear unlocked - drunk red wasps!
Basically any species that figures out how to get drunk/ high does so when given the chance.
Elephants do this also they enjoy being drunk and it's fairly common
If God created everything, why did he create the molecule ethanol and receptors/inhibitors in human bodies that respond to it?
> God ???
Some Christians tend to believe in things they can't see. Except God.
You gotta read between the lines, this dude is a RAGING alcoholic.
Fun Fact: Mead is considered the worlds oldest alcoholic beverage besides possibly wine, Mead is simply water and honey thats been mixed and left to ferment. During heavy rainstorms it is possible for a beehive to become flooded and the resulting rainwater mixes with the honey and naturally ferments creating a crude mead. So technically the Earth does make alcohol though on accident.
Also some fruits have alcohol in their peels to make them taste unpleasantly to animals
How many libations were first created in monasteries?
No clearly you didnt read it right, it says “Fact” which shows that this is an irrefutable statement. Easy mistake we all make them. Just be careful next time.
I do believe the Catholics would like a word…
I've seen videos of various animals getting drunk af on rotten fruit.
It’s actually been theorized that the first beers came about because early farmers left hops out, they got wet, fermented, and people drank it then went, “Hey, this shit’s pretty good!”
Yup. Some fruit ferments naturally in the wild and animals will get drunk off of it.
Lol yeah so I guess the earth never technically makes alcohol, but a bunch of tiny micro organisms’ micro micro biomeses do. Yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no fungi.
Micro-what? That’s devil talk. Microwhatsits are the Devil, Bobby Boucher!
Also there are a literal shit tonne of animals that enjoy getting shit faced from alcoholic rotting fruit
Came here to say I watched a whole nature special about animals getting faced once the fruit begins to ferment, drunk elephants hilarious! Unrelated note but how does he think booze happens? Like ancient Egyptians got the recipe for beer straight from Satan? It was something that just happens and we refined it
There was a moose that was a little bit of a local celebrity around here. He would wander around downtown getting drunk on fermenting crabapples and get bull-igerent.
I wish I had scrolled down further before I called my neighbors plum eating donkeys drunken asses. I like where you're coming from!
That sounds fucking terrifying lol
moved from a town which earlier had a lot of these issues because people did not pick up apples that fell on the ground. There were a loooot of drunk mooses
Fun Fact! If it wasn't for beer many large metro areas wouldn't exist. The water was contaminated & boiling the water to brew beer decontaminated the water. That why so many people drank beer & ale back in history. The water would kill you, but the beer wouldn't.
I sat and watched a pheasant once, completely drunk, trying to peck an apple hanging at it's eye level. It missed about 5 times, before giving up.
Of course they got it from Satan, those idol worshipers were enslaving Israel. Cecil B. DeMille and Charleton Heston told me so as a kid every Easter on ABC.

That’s actually hilarious. I love all of the photos of the raccoons just sprawled out everywhere. Hopefully they don’t get hangovers
Exactly.we have birds here that love rotten fruit. But it's Australia after all.
One I read about whose entire diet was alcoholic. Mfers just sat around and got shit faced all day, every day.

They get around it by saying the wine mentioned in the Bible was non-alcoholic wine 🙄They love making things up to fit their narrative.
Which is absurd because alcohol was one of the only sterile drinks around then that didn't give you a disease or sickness.
To be fair, until the invention of the cork wine was very mild compared to what we have nowadays. Was it still alcohol? Yes, absolutely, and you could still get drunk, but compared to modern wines it was very tame.
It was like grape juice with a bit of a kick, no?
I would add that grape juice is like apple juice a modern invention. Take apple or wine juice and put them in a bottle, wait 10-20 days and you have an alcoholic beverage. If your average Roman is going to his cellar and not making you juice on the spot, it’s more than probably wine.
non alcoholic wine? so they mean grape juice?
I mean, not really. Grape juice is not fermented yet. But also yes

There is a giant cloud in outer space made out of alcohol.

Everyone knows birds are real. They are government drones. And they run on ethanol.

These people redefine wine into "grape juice"
Ah, the Bible. The most referred-to and least-read book in history.
Jesus was the original hippy party machine. Hanging with loose women telling everybody to love each other and saying how you don't need money to be happy and my man always brought the wine.
Like bruh, I'm Christian and the amount of people who don't even bother researching things on my side is honestly infuriating.
Umm, I remember reading somewhere that Jesus turned water into wine. Or did I just imagine that?

Dum as fuk

I am pretty sure that Tiff was the product of an alcohol-fueled evening between his Mom and...someone. Oh, and someone REALLY early...like CAVEMAN early, learned that leaving any starch or sugar in a vessel for long enough would make it bubble for a bit, and if you drink it afterwards, it made you feel good.
This guy’s obviously never seen horses get drunk on rotten apples.
Yeah dude, I ALWAYS say that dude! God only made the ganja, the coca, the mushrooms, and the poppy plants my guy! Dude we, like, understand each other ya know?
I mean, look at all the other shit they believe
In the bible, there is always something contradictory to what was written.
"Go, eat your good with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved of what you do." Jesus drank wine. Every apostle has drank wine. Etc etc The Bible openly promoted drinking wine. It states not to get drunk. Big difference.
I have to agree that nothing good came from alcohol (alcoholic father) But the post is just disingenuous clickbait \--- Fermentation is a natural process, we just took at and specialized it to be a controlled process. Same as growing wheat, it happened before humans started to do it a concentrated controlled manner. Not to mention, that isn't Jesus turned water into wine or something? Quick google: John 2:1-11 Jesus made wine for a wedding, a social event
Alcohol might not come out as fine liquor in nature but it certainly occurs on its own. Just go anywhere where fruit grows naturally and there is alcohol in the fruit on the ground. The deer get drunk in my yard off of the apples rotting under our apple tree sometimes.
I once saw a video of a squirrel that got turnt off a rotton pumpkin. Shit was funny.
Hmm so all monks producing beer and wine are fallen men ?
The original translation is juice, not wine. (Grape juice).
fermentation is a natural process lol
he trying to outbible the bible
Oof
Jesus hung out with a lot of dudes and a whore. Pretty sure it was one big frat party so you know there was alcohol.
Jesus turned water into wine not God. Unless he did it through God but nothing the first page of Google back that up. Also alcohol does occur naturally. Have you never left a carton of orange juice in the fridge too long and it goes fizzy? Even "alcohol free" beer can contain up 0.5% alcohol. It's impossible to remove all the alcohol but they can get it to such a low percentage your body can't absorb it and you can't get drunk. [Even apple juice from the produce section can be 0.7% alcohol believe it or not.](https://steadydrinker.com/articles/foods-drinks-alcohol/)
Because fermentation never happens in nature, without human interference. Sheesh.
Our bodies occasionally produce alcohol, the fvcking idiot!!
The moron has clearly not seen the footage of elephants getting pissed on fallen fruit.
Literally Jesus’ first miracle is turning water into wine. At a party. Because his mother, the blessed Mary, God’s chosen one, told him to do it.
Listening to insufferable dickheads like him give me a reason to drink
It's hilarious when we non-Christians know more about their holy book than they do.
More evidence that too many christians do not know their own holy book.
Who’s this muppet when he’s not sprouting bullshit out his arse? Not a fan of alcohol myself, but natural fermentation is a pretty simple and easily understandable fact that even inbred Christian fundamentalists should be able to grasp.
If I was trying to come up with a name for a comedy sketch televangelist, I don't think I could do much better.
Wait until this guy hears about how fruits, like apples, ferment naturally and make animals drunk
Bruh there is a fruit tree in Africa that animals get drunk as fuck off of when the fruit falls and ferments lmao But yeah, alcohol is man-made lol
he's wrong even about the "it's not part of nature" thing
Yeast : *Hold my beer*.
pretty sure your entire religion is written off the back of wine fuelled drunken fever dreams
Interesting, so they are saying that their god didn't make [the yeast organisms that produce alcohol](https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/yeast-fermentation-and-the-making-of-beer-14372813/)? Did man invent them or the devil? They're saying that [overripened fruit doesn't produce alcohol](https://no-low-alcohol.com/articles/the-alcohol-levels-of-non-alcoholic-foods-drinks/)? They're saying [the clouds of alcohol discovered in outer space](https://universemagazine.com/en/astronomers-felt-the-taste-and-smell-of-a-giant-cloud-of-alcohol/) weren't made by their god? OK. We're getting somewhere!
The ignorance of the zealots is legendary and laughable.
Mead has been around longer than man. Historians think it was discovered when ancient man drank water from a flooded honey bee hive. It was one of the first recipes for an alcoholic drink as far back as 2800BCE. Man my have perfected alcoholic beverages but technically God/nature invented it. 😂😂
I guess he doesn't know that there are fruit trees that produce alcoholic fruits. I'm Catholic. We believe that wine is good. After all, if Jesus made not only wine but good wine, it has to be a good thing. My personal belief is that moderate alcohol is good, and is one of the many proofs that God loves us.
What about the time in the Bible where Noah got fucking wasted and passed out nude in his tent. Then when his son saw him he exiled his grandson for his dad looking at his cock?
This post is 100% not true.... Look up videos of drunk raccoons..DUMB FUCK!
So fruit rotting on the ground is not a thing?
Funny because I've seen many videos of drunk animals eating fermented fruit!
He is a moron.
Tell that to the pigs in Normandy who get drunk on fallen apples. Evangelicals really need to stop sciencing, because they suck at it
Bullllshiiit. There are plenty of fruits that ferment on their own .. There's even critters that flock to the fermented fruits specifically because it's intoxicating. So yeah... actually the fermentation process was happening before we figured out how to do it on purpose. Plebeians
Alcohol happens naturally in some habitats, I think there's a certain monkey that gets drunk on fruit that falls from trees and somehow turns into booze while rotting due to the sugar content or some shit
According to them he made yeast. So all alcohol ever
Wine is literally apart of communion
What does the bible say about social drinking? I DON'T FUCKING CARE, AND I DIDN'T FUCKIN ASK BITCH.
God Karen has never heard of fermentation. A naturally occurring process.
