Really? Don't you think drinkers should take responsibility for their actions and not blame it on the alcohol?

What is false about it? I did amend my statement to say this was not true of all christians, but those of certain sects within christianity and they don't do it from some kind of preference, but because of a belief that drinking is sinful when there is nothing in the bible that makes such a claim at all. Drinking to the point of drunkenness is obviously more problematic, but it is based on a false premise that people that drink do things they do not want to do, or would not want to do if sober - that's ####### and as I also said, if you honestly believe that you can't drink because you are worried about what you might do while drunk, then you have serious issues that have nothing to do with alcohol.

I don't have any problem with anyone's personal preferences - people can choose to drink whatever they enjoy or think is most beneficial to them, but there is nothing righteous about not drinking alcohol and non drinkers are not special people.

I can't be held responsible for your constant backpeddling. Grow a spine, and hold your ground, no matter how foolish your original statement was.

It wasn't back peddling, my original statement didn't express what I meant to say, which was not that all christians have a thing about alcohol, just some of the more extreme sects, like the methodists. I know all about methodists...

Twist your words? You said this thread was bashing christians. Clearly I'm the one that introduced the theme and I certainly wasn't bashing christians, I was suggesting that those who justify abstinence with biblical references are nuts. One because christ had no problem with drinking (even if you want to qualify that with responsibly) and two because suggesting that drinking leads to sin abdicates the person from all responsibility for their actions which is neither christian nor rational.

Maybe you were suggesting that but that's not the direction the conversation took. I believe the focus was on whether biblical reference could be used to justify not getting drunk.

I know - with whipped cream on both

I wish I'd never sent you those pics of me eating Mint Aeros, surrounded by bowls of whipped cream.
