Star Trek: Worf on Religion
You forgot about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_culture#Afterlife
No I didn't. Klingon belief is that the first Klingons killed the Gods who created them and essentially took their place. Klingons believe in a heaven (Sto'Vo'Kor) and Hell (Gre'Thor) which is presided over by Khaless (God) and a devil (Fek'Ihr). They follow a moral system based on combat and honor which rewards proper behavior, and punishes what is considered negative behavior.
Were the ancient Greeks "Atheists"? Their belief system also involved the death of their primary origination God (Cronos). But just because that god died didn't mean the Greek theology was gone. It just took on a different aspect. Same with the Kingons who replaced their origination god with Kortar or Khaless or whatever. Worf is not an atheist. He has a very specific religion, which he believes in strongly.

I was saying Boo-ooks.
Also I don't let my glasses stay empty for twenty minutes, but hey, if that's the way you roll then who am I to stand in the way of your effeminate ass? Maybe you should be drinking wine coolers.

Black coffee isn't sweet. That's a terrible analogy. Terrible. Terrible. Boo. Books.
But seriously, when I say bourbon I just mean Southern whiskey, so I mentally include Jack and Jim and all the the other ones. But you're right, there's a difference. I like Southern whiskey because the sweeter flavor is good on my palette. It's not super sweet, just slightly sweet to the taste. And if you finish a glass of neat whiskey (any type) and set the empty glass out for twenty minutes or so, you can smell the sweet notes or smokey notes. A good Woodford Reserve smells like vanilla.
Slightly oaky doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it gives whiskey a certain charm. I don't care for Scotch, because it's way too smokey. Though if I'm in Vegas and being a douche with a cigar, I'm drinking Scotch because it just works together.

I know bourbon is sweeter than scotch, but then a cup of black coffee is sweeter than scotch too. However, all bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels, and that does give it a hint of smoky flavor, which my sensitive palate can detect. That's why if I have to drink an American whiskey made mostly from corn I'll drink Tennessee whiskey, like Jack Daniels, because it's charcoal filtered. That helps remove a little more of the smoky flavor.
Fuck Kentucky and their fucking bourbon - unless I'm on a jag and there's nothing else around. I'll drink girly peppermint schnapps before bourbon, and that sweet, syrupy shit is pretty damn low on my list.

Now I know you're a Yankee. Bourbon isn't typically smokey. What bourbon are you drinking? It's typically made from mash and is sweeter.
In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Really? I kid about Canadian whiskey - Crown Royal, Pendleton, and Tangle Ridge are all great tasting, and even regular old Canadian Club and VO are pleasing to my palate. I know there are a few people out there who dismiss Canadian whiskey because they claim it's too 'light' in flavor, and for the cheap shit that's true. But a glass of good Canadian hooch, especially the higher end stuff like Gibson's and Wiser's, can stand toe to toe with whiskey made anywhere else on Earth, IMHO.
Scotch and bourbon both taste too smoky to me, but they'll do if there's nothing else around.

Lol, I've only had bourbon once and it didn't really impress me. I still haven't had any Canadian whiskey. Weird, eh?

I'll have to remember to try Macallan the next time I buy a bottle of hooch. For the money I don't think you can beat regular old Bushmill's. Last I saw, a fifth was priced around $22.00 American, and yet it tastes better than most whiskeys twice the price. Maybe you wouldn't care for Irish whiskey because they almost never use peat.
Back to the smoky variety, the best in that category IMHO is still Jack Daniel's. The difference between it an bourbon is that JD is charcoal filtered before it's casked. That mellows it some, yet still leaves distinctive character. All Tennessee whiskey is charcoal filtered, but Jack Daniel's is the best. It's a very popular brand for a reason.

Ahhh, I love the smokiness of scotch, but there are some scotches that have more sherry-like flavours than the peaty flavours. Aberlour's Abunudh is a nice one that only has a hint of peat. If you can get your hands on a MaCallan that's a really nice whiskey with no smoke at all.
Anyways, I'll see if I can taste some of that Gibson's or Wiser's soon. We can compare notes
