I think if the particular christians I knew had thier way, the whole world would have no drinking - just lots of days at church picnics with fried chicken - hehe.


Might be a case of "be careful what you wish for". Or maybe they really want this temptation to be removed.

I am puzzled by these Christians who are against alcohol here in the US and a few born-again types in Britain. Did Jesus say you shouldn't drink? Didn't he turn water into wine? (at Kafr Qana) At least the Catholic church like the Jews uses wine in its ceremonies...

In the meantime Christians in Baghdad are suffering from selling alcohol.

there is wine present at every Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Orthodox Christians are the only true Christians.
