Wine, Wine, Give us wine!

What did the romans think the God of Wine actually did?
 
Dionysus provided mankind with a gift that was as important as Demeter's gift of grain. This was especially true for ancient people for whom alternatives to alcoholic beverages, like most modern recreational drugs and bottled water, were unavailable. Gifts from wine were

Relaxation

Escape

Liquid refreshment that also

Made water potable, and, not least important,

The truth that's found only in vino.

Dionysus' gift of wine had a price. He expected to be worshiped. It was his due. Proud and confident that mortals would realize the value of his gift, he was willing to give humans a second chance, but after repeated rejections, Dionysus took revenge on the mortal members of his family.
 
Yeah, but what I mean is, the romans actually made the wine THEMSELVES, obviously, it's not like it came out of Dionysus' dick or anything. So why did they have to thank him for something mad-made? Was there a God of, umm, SPARGHETTI (or whatever they ate back then?)

I don't understand worship.

I sliced my thumb quite badly cutting onions but I've been working all day and I want to just eat my soup and enjoy a glass of wine- as opposed to going and sitting in the hospital waiting room for 3 hours since it isnt life-threatening.
'Sides. it's not bleeding any more.
What are the criteria for needing stitches, anyway?

How deep?

I cannot answer your question any more clearly, since I am not Roman.
 
It's like the guy who discovered or invented something always gets the props even if other people to the heavy lifting.

All those Romans were sitting around up to their nipples in grapes, not knowing that they could be turned into a delightful beverage. Dionysis said, WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THIS ME DROOGIES and they were like D'OH WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT! YOU REALLY ARE SUPERIOR, DI! CAN WE GET YOU A BUN?

Whoever invented the blowjob? THAT GUY should be a god.
 
Gods only exist if we believe in them. A BIT LIKE SPOCK.
 
and there you have it!
