One may disagree with the strong stand that many Southern Baptists take against the consumption of alcohol.

Clue to Baptists: It was WATER, Not BEER.

Grow UP!

question: Yes, it was water, not beer, but would you hand out water with a "LET ME KILL YOU BECAUSE WE ARE MUSLIMS AND YOU WILL ALL DIE" label on the water?

I doubt it, and you would not do it because you dont want to send out a mixed message.

Neither do the Baptists. They were trying to remain Biblically centered.

Just as you would try to remain anti-Islamic bomber sensitive.

Think a little. They had the right to hand out what they wanted, and according to ALL who know, not one person was deprived of water because of this, this was NOT a church witholding water from people dying in a desert because of a label.

I know! Someone turned the water to beer. Where oh where, could somone find a similar precedent?

I am Southern Baptist and I think it is great that they were standing up for their beliefs. Since no one went without, what is the fuss about?
