Doesn’t the bible say something about idol worship? Cups are cups and only have meaning if you make them into something more than they are.

[1] Some countries have laws to punish blasphemy,[2] while others have laws to give recourse to those who are offended by blasphemy.

Do you wish for such laws in the US?

I have friends in the SCA, they drink from chalices all the time. There’s nothing innately religion about chalices. And I’m not seeing “malevolent” mustached smiley. I think what this really is is a bar with a cute name.

I can see the "hand writing on the wall"...

Dan 5:1-6 Belshazzar's Feast
Belshazzar the king held a great (1)feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand. (2) When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver (2)vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. (3) Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. (4) They (3)drank the wine and praised the gods of (4)gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone. (5) Suddenly the fingers of a man's hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing. (6) Then the king's (5)face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his (6)hip joints went slack and his (7)knees began knocking together.

Most Catholics know that religious items such as a monstrance or chalicess can NOT be sold. They can be put away and then given to a mission church is Asia, South America, Africa — even here in the U. S.

Same with vestments and other religious articles. They cannot be sold.

They are blessed and sacred because of the proper use of them.

So my question of the bar owner is — how did he/she get ahold of them in the first place?

What is happening there is sacreligious and blasphemous.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I wonder what would happen if somebody opened a bar making fun of Islamic holy objects.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
