A half decent glass of red should do the trick.

And would probably be more enjoyable.

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.

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?

The Ouzo Prophecy is a catchy name.

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

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?).

No, I'm asking you what it takes to convince you that somebody is a prophet.

Obviously not you then.

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.
