> 9. "Beer is living proof that God loves > us and wants us to be happy"
Franklin was writing about wine, not beer:
We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy! The miracle in question was only performed to hasten the operation under circumstances of present necessity, which required it. - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Letter to Andre Morellet circa July 1779
