I've always found Samuel Adams beer less than tasty. In fact, if that's the last beer a pub has on tap I'll just get an iced tea. Now I know why... take a read at Alive and Young's post entitled Sex, Beer, and a Catholic Church. I am justified albeit for different reasons (flavor / perdition). Go take a look.
I hate telling people what to do and what not to do, but you might want to reconsider drinking Samuel Adams beer, and for that mater anything that comes from the Boston Beer Company. I kept hearing rumors that Samuel Adams sponsored, on a number of occasions, a contest called "Sex for Sam" that encouraged contestants to engage in sex in some strange places: Times Square, NBC Today, on a Bus, in a museum (click here for the list); each place the contestants had sex, they would receive points for its corresponding location...Read on here.

And this means? Let's see? Let's stop paying school taxes because they teach evolution? Let's stop using hospitals because they perform AAP contraindicated neonatal male circumcisions and abortions? Let's avoid women altogther because they have vaginas (my wife has to go)? Let's leave America because they have gay rights? Let's quarantine the East and West coasts because they're liberals and have the top American colleges there that teach real social issues? Oh yeah, beer is a major social issue, I forgot. Why bring up Orthodox issues like sexual abuse problems in the GOA, the OCA (and they got a lot lately). Beer, THAT's an important Orthodox crisis. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI was simply saying I thought Sam Adams beer tasted bad. I'll take any secondary commentary supporting my opinion as a plus. :) Thus the post.
ReplyDeleteI have indeed posted on the OCA financial scandal in the past, but point taken. Though, the other point worth noting here is that secularism is not an absence. It is often a replacement for church doctrine. Who needs God when sound ecological practices and egalitarian division of wealth can do so much? Who needs to be subject to our human-ness when we can pump ourselves full of hormones, control our procreative nature, and lower or raise our thumb to the lives that science fails to quell?
There's no switch that puts me in a pink ballerina outfit on a Gay Day float when in the on position and has me picketing gay funerals with a sign reading "God Hates Fags!' when in the off position.
I also will let the fact that I have five children settle the matter of my feelings on women and that second thing you mentioned.
Joseph, this guy left an identical comment on Paul's blog. Only on his, he blamed celibacy for the Church's sex scandals. He couldn't do that with the Orthodox, since they can be married, so he conveniently left that part out.
