Lent, if The Saltman was Christian.

[The Saltman]

An Iowa man who is subsisting solely on beer for the duration of Lent says he is trying to combat the “teetotalling, neo-prohibitionist tendencies” of some elements of Christianity while also paying homage to the beer-making Bavarian monks of the Middle Ages.

“I hope beer lovers learn something reasonable about Christianity, and I hope Christians learn something reasonable about beer,” J. Wilson, 38, writes in the first entry of his blog, Diary of a Part-time Monk, where he is chronicling his 46-day “journey.”

Modelled on the liquid fasts practised by German monks in the 17th century, on weekdays he drinks four 12-ounce (355 mL) beers, each with 288 calories and a 6.67-per-cent alcohol content. On weekends, five beers are allowed.

That's one thing I've never understood about most protestant churches... their dogmatic view of drinking any alcohol... it's weird.

[Kurb]

It's ignorant.

[Epistaxis]

Jesus did turn water into wine. I guess the evangelicals think he turned it into Welch's Grape Juice.

Evangelicals response: Back then they didn't have the drinking options we have today.

btw my mom is 60 and never tasted alcohol. She has no idea what she is missing out on. Poor thing.

Moderation is the key.

Yep, the church I previously attended (I don't at all now) frowned on even one sip... "what if someone saw you..." was always the line...
