Historically, gout has been known as the disease of kings or rich men (which is much more regal sounding than that four-letter cacophony)
These dukes, counts, and lords were able to eat more red meat and drink more booze than their feudal neighbors and as such became afflicted. Recent diet changes in the population at large due to increased socioeconomic status have led to higher rates of gout occurring.

#Wait, hold up Jesus
Detractors often cite this as a crushing blow to the foundation of Christianity (Jesus himself promoting violence?) but instead the problem is one of context, interpretation, and perhaps translation
In Luke 12:51, we have
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division
and many posit that Jesus is referring to ideological divison, in that his teachings were novel and not concurrent with the status quo
However, the Book of Columba, an illuminated Gospel, uses the Latin gaudium (joy) instead of gladium (sword) which leaves us with the much more benevolent
Think not that I am come to send peace on Earth: I came not to send peace, but joy
