All I gotta say is, if alcohol is so bad why do they serve wine in church?

They're real dicks about people going up for seconds though.

Unless you're a priest. I went to a Catholic high school and learned quite a few interesting things about that religion. Apparently Catholic priests can't simply dump out the un-consumed wine. It's been magically transformed into blood and that might piss off Jesus (duh). So all of the leftovers in that goblet get discretely drained by father McWhats-his-name when there is nobody around.

Well done sir!

So circling back, is that guy who posted this serious? Or is he just trying to provoke a reaction? Or is he just completely oblivious?

You seriously need to ask this question?

They don't bother doing it discretely in an Episcopal church. Right after communion, the priest drains the goblet(s) before returning to the altar.

 

[Airborneguy]

Catholic church also when they are cleaning up. I never saw a priest not empty the chalice and wipe it out before returning it to the altar boys.

Notice how He leaves out the fact that "tartaric acid" is what makes grapes sour, can be found in most houshold spice racks, and found in kids candy, and food.
Anything acidic can be harmful in large doses, this guy wants people to perceive things how he presents them, but without all the facts included, imagine that happening on the internet?

Yeah, that's practically the opening sentence on page 1 of the fundie playbook

 

[Whut]

Sandwich in a bottle (er, keg), that's all I've got to say. Eat up people!

Um...yeah. Maybe I'm the one who is oblivious.

 

[BogusOwnz]

I imagine drinking 2 or 3 sodas a day is worse for you over time then 2 or 3 beers.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Yes, I always take advice from thumper nut websites.

 

[joekerr1]

That website is the same kind that spreads moral panic and does not use any facts to back it up.

Hey, I remember when DeathBrewer had the image from this site as his avatar.

The active principle in hops is a fine, yellow resinous powder called "lupulin" which is always classified as a narcotic because it will dull the sense in moderate doses and cause stupor or coma in larger amounts. From lupulin come two lupulic acids - humulone and lupulone.

Well sh*t, why have I been boiling my hops in wort when I could have been getting high off 'em?!

And correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it have to be derived from opium to be considered a narcotic?

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

My question is why would you put up some anti beer bull sh*t on a website devoted to beer geeks? Do you honestly think your going to change anyone’s mind here or do you just like drama? More than likely, you’re really just that stupid. Time to drink a beer.

Lighten up, Francis.

It's called a "joke".

 

[Garr-Ro]

Try living in Oklahoma where the Home brewing of beer was equated to growing and selling pot. And how readily it would be available to anyone to drink in a short amount of time. Wine and mead are accepted practices but home brewing beer is not until November.

Livin' it now!!....shhhh...my garage door is slightly cracked while brewing....hope they don't smell my "lupulin & her lupulic acids" !!!

BREW ON !!!

 

[fatmoose]

better stop eating tomatoes as well as they're a member of the tobacco family!

Hmmmm, gotta get me some tomacco!

Edit: Seems I was late to the tomacco party

I wanna see them flip the chalice upside down and slam it on the alter after doing this.

narcotic just means painkiller.

As to the original post, this is why people hate christians. you cut a tiny snippet of text from the bible, take it completely out of context, and form your beliefs from that. makes us all look like snake handlers. although, snakes are pretty cool.

 

[tonkota]

dumbest post ever!

Nice all those verses came from the King James version, which King J named after himself, plus a book in it......stoopid.

 

[Homercidal]

And did you know that drinking water in excess can lead to death? The majority of the volume of beer is water! Holy crap!

Oh, and you better stop eating nuts, shellfish, honey... "certain individuals" can die from consuming these products!

overhydration. it can happens to marathon runners, so never drink water or go faster than a brisk walk.

 

[mixmasterob]

Wow, he got me. No more beer for me....ever!

 

[hal2814]

This is stupid on so many levels but this is my personal favorite:

"One of these, "humulone", has the following chemical formula: C21H30O5. "Cannabinol", the active principle of marijuana, has the chemical formula.of C21H26O2."

Yeah, and water has the chemical formula H2O while hyrdogen peroxide has the chemical formula H2O2. Should we stop drinking water? It's a heck of a lot closer to peroxide than humulone is to cannabinol.

 

[Ouroboros]

Well, you shouldn't eat shellfish because that is an abomination before god. It's just one of the abominations that fundies don't care about, because whining about it isn't politically advantageous.

I'm so glad I'm Lutheran. After all, Martin, himself, did enjoy some of Germany's finest brews of the early 1500's, just like any other German male!

And many of the previous posts are correct: take a snipet of Scripture out of context, and you can "prove" just about anything!

[Zamial]

Well, the article is rubbish (we all new that) but it does make me seriously hope that they find the so called "evil" that they despise so much and get to come face to face with it. I am a firm believer in "you will eventually find what you are looking for..." and with that thought, I can say I am looking to find the best tasting home brew / beer the world has ever known. (Not to worry, if I find it I will share the info!)

...the search continues...

 

[impur]

Wow. Religious propaganda knows no bounds.

And I do believe that good ol' Marty threw himself a kegger when he got thrown out of the Catholic Church!
