AirForceVet: Remember that Jesus was a party animal. Turning water into wine as His first miracle was BRILLIANT!

/Drives them Southern Baptists crazy explainin', that one does.

IT WAS GRAPE JUICE! JUST JUICE!

/my follow up question about the practicality of storing wine vs plain juice without the benefit of refrigeration always gets them.

There should be no laws obstructing the legal rights of any person/business if the only conflict is based on religion. "Welllll....booze is legal there, but not here so close to the Lords house!" Laws should be made to protect religions as they are persecuted(and any other group), not shelter them. As an american it is not my duty and I shouldn't be law bound to shelter the beliefs of a bunch of superstitious twats that wouldn't bat an eye to fark me out of my rights if it was based on something they found offensive. Go fark yourself churches and the politicians who would legislate for them

Blue laws are dumb, period.

That is all.

After sitting in church for so long, whou couldn't use a stiff drink?

buckler: Even nonbelievers enjoy the Blood of Christ from time to time.

Creepy.

See?

Religion is inherently creepy.

Read: Creepy.

Where's your God now?

/probably getting another growler
//he'll make it to mass eventually

I like how the parishioners are concerned about parking. Folks, no bar-hopper will be stealing your parking space at the church one Sunday morning, unless they're passed out in the car or nearby from the night's adventures (which I believe is actually pretty rare despite all the Fark headlines about it). The bigger picture is, parking fees for bar-hoppers, which can help save your undoubtedly revenue-challenged organization. Any church small enough to be near the bars is probably hurting financially anyway.

"The spirits of Christ compelled them"
+1 :)

If I have to sit through church, I want a stiff drink beforehand.

"Growler jugs"?

(Google)

ok, we call em half-g's

The term likely dates back to the late 19th century when fresh beer was carried from the local pub to one's home by means of a small galvanized pail. Often the inside of the pail would be coated with lard to decrease foam and allow for slightly more beer to be in the pail. It is claimed the sound that the CO2 made when it escaped from the lid as the beer sloshed around sounded like a growl

Fark. Constantly educating us

Now see, if Christ had reached into his pocket and pulled out his weed satchel after dinner that storied night and declared "Smoke this, for this is my spirit", I would definitely show up to church on Sunday mornings more often for communion.

/give us this day our daily wake and bake

Different strokes fer different folks, y'all, seriously.

Legality is history.

Dumb history in the face of now.

Grow up history, now.

Now, we say.

When a church wants to open, or move to a new location, do the nearby bars get any say on the matter? No? Then the law is farked up. Absent the proximity of churches, if a bar would normally be allowed to open, then the church should have nothing at all to do with it. Are we to believe that bars are antithetical to churches - all churches? If so, it sounds like the problem is with the churches, not the bars.

Raised Roman Catholic in Irish neighborhood.
Now Orthodox in a historically Greek parish.

My past and present approve.

For a moment I thought they were talking about Summum.
