Lent, if The Saltman was Christian.

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.

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.

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...

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
