If there is no God, why would Benjamin Franklin say,?
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" Does the existence of beer prove that there is a God, or just that if there were a God he obviously loves us? I'm confused, but I do love beer.

And God created alcohol to keep the Irish from conquering the world.

Beer has little to do with God's existence.
By the way someone commented earlier that the Bible warns against alchohol: that is true to a point. The Bible warns people not to -get drunk- because:
1. Your descision making is inhibited
2. It's bad for your health
The Bible promotes the use of alchohol as a medicinal substance in a few spots. And since Jesus Himself drank wine on at least 1 occasion, I don't see how it can be considered evil by sooo many people.
Just so you know I'm not bias, I inherited my family allergy to ethanol - so I can't drink.

I think beer definitely cannot prove the existence of God, no matter how good. But God did bestow in man knowledge of many things, including beer. But with its creation, he also gave us the choice to use it. Beer is good, but too much can lead to bad ends. So, God wants us to be happy, whether through beer or not, but it is your choice. Beer may be personal methods of happiness, and God knows that so he gave it so you could be happy. Hope I was helpful.

No, but the existance of the man drinking the beer is proof that God is real and that He loves us!
