Samuel Adams Independence Day Ad

The (self-appointed) God Squad is demonstrably irate about a recent Samuel Adams commercial that reads part of the Declaration of Independence, but leaves out the "endowed by their creator" part. Samuel Adams claims they left it out because of their fear that God might strike them down for making beer, but religious zealots point out that Jesus made water into wine, suggesting that God wants everyone to party all the time while imbibing alcoholic beverages. But they could have avoided this whole controversy by simply creating their own version of the Declaration of Independence, called the "Declaration of Intoxication", ending with the right to "pursuit of hammeredness". (Maybe next time?)

Here's the creator censoring commercial:
