<Did Jesus say you shouldn't drink? >

MOO remember the link I posted earlier to slagle from tne NY times - one in 5 americans believe the sun orbits the earth. I think there are a great number of people that believe things that someone in your position would find irrational - that so many people believe so many silly things.

I found many of these folks had never read the bible like a book, all the way through, the majority of what they knew was what thier preacher told them through his personal experiences and stories and the few passages he pulled out of the bible to illustate certain rules. That was amazing to me - that you could be a follower of a religion and claim to be a student of the bible and never had read it. It was amazing the power some of these local preachers had. Mel Brooks used to say its good to be the king - but its also good to be the preacher too - hehe.
