I'm sure it's just an accident that you failed to include the "UPDATE" that appears at the end of the article in bright red letters.

Hey, if those folks have other water they can use in place of the beer company's water, more power to them. Or they could rip off the labels I suppose.

"Why do you want to make that the issue? That's not the issue. The issue is that we're here trying to help people," Cook said.It certainly IS an issue. The issue is a bizarre and phobic fetish about the word "beer" printed on a can of water that people need.

How incredibly stupid.
Water is water to people that are thirsty.

As far as I'm concerned, what you find in a regular Budweiser can is pretty much water, anyway.

Water in beer cans?
So they're handing out coors?

The SBC "setting it aside" is very crass. Anheiser-Busch is more than just beer.

If ACT-UP donated blood, that shouldn't be passed out either.
Seriously, the SBC pastor did not have to make it an issue. Water is water. the idea is to help people in distress, not constrain their relief because of your beliefs.
I think Jesus would have just given out the water.

Outside of the fact that Bud is water anyways, these people are fools and obviously put their own egos in front of Christian love and charity for those in need.

The Southern Baptist should take a step forward and refuse the contributions of members who drink. Better yet just kick them out of the church.

I wonder if they realize that while William Tyndale translated his English Bible his food was strictly boiled beef and beer.

The obvious answer to this is to bring the Baptists in one at a time. Then they will drink all they want ;)

Matthew 25:41-46:
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was ahungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.:
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

What would Jesus do? Give out clean drinking water? Or set it aside because the water was donated by a sinner?
To: Between the Lines
Twenty-two pallets of the canned water, distributed free by beer company Anheuser-Busch, bears the company's label – and members of the Southern Baptist Convention refused to hand it out to those in need. Oh, please. Apparently, they had plenty of water to hand out. They just chose not to hand out the Bud water.
No story here, except some kooks trying to trash Baptists (who are, by the way, working hard helping those effected by the hurricane).

They were probably afraid tha the Coors water was secretly Coors Beer.
Anybody could confuse the two.
Coor's is the nadir of bottled brew.
