The Bible says the following about becoming drunk: •Proverbs 23:19-35 tells us that becoming drunk is unwise and that we are not to do it. •Proverbs 31:1-7 tells us that when we drink to excess we forget God's laws. •Ephesians 5:15-18 - "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." •Paul also tells us in Galatians 5 that drunkenness is one of the acts that lead us away from the Kingdom of God and it is compared as an opposite to the fruits of the Holy Spirit. •Lastly, 1 Thessalonians 5 tells us that if we get drunk we are not prepared for the coming of Christ's Kingdom at that time and we are then not acting as Sons of the Light, who are self-controlled.

You pull all that from memory Wade? Being the god-fearing, non-drinking pius guy that you are
If there is a god or gods ( I don't believe there is ) he, she, it would have more sense than to allow mankind to write down or translate any teachings or wisdom. Humans always have an agenda and especially when they are organised into groups.

I'd call it common sense that divides us from that makey upy crowd control you mention.
Jesus died for our sins but we are all born with original sin...going by that circular logic he'll be up on the cross for a good while yet :)
I remember questioning the "original sin" issue with a nun when I was about 13 or 14 They called my parents in which turned into one of the best memories of my mother...awesome pagan
Imagine looking at a new born infant and thinking him/her inherantly bad.
