A half decent glass of red should do the trick.

I'm sorry, my friends, but I'm afraid another wine has already done you in:
"And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
-Revelation 14:8

Out of wine? Okay, I'll take the fornication.

You wouldnt have any explicit pics of the whore of Babylon, would you Bob?

No, but seriously, you will have to come up with something better than a calming effect. Otherwise you will be a loss and not a prophet.

It's too bad you people have absolutely no knowledge or interest in the book of Revelation or "The Ouzo Prophecy." If you did, you wouldn't be making those comments about Revelation 14:8 and the spiritual fornication of that great city Babylon, ancient Rome, Cincinnati, and your own godforsaken lives.

The Ouzo Prophecy is a catchy name, though. I will give you that. Do I get some brownie points for that?

What's our position on fornication, Bob? Are we for it or against it?

Thank you, thank you very much. That means my work is half-completed.

Unfortunately, my friend, since you have no conception at all of spiritual fornication, I am unable to respond to your question.

If it involves spirits and fornication, I am all for it.

No, but get ONE acolyte to the church of Ouzo and we'll see.

Oh shit that's never gonna happen. (Maybe I'm a prophet?).

Somebody who can read the writing on the wall which is becoming less and less difficult especially as it pertains to macro events as for example the current refugee crises and it's ramifications for Europe and especially central Europe, aka Germany.
