Drinking beer is a SIN ! ! ! !

Actually, If I'm not mistaken, Jesus' first miracle was at the wedding a Cana, where he turned water into wine. Also of note is the fact that the master of the ceremony tasted it and said that the best was saved for last, so the Lord didn't make Thunderbird or any rot gut, but rather a fine wine. Now, I've prayed, but never turned water into wine; however, with a little malt...

Well, I know about the wine, but I didn't realize that Jesus drank BEER. As an avid defender of beer (and any other type of alcohol), I'd sure like to know what biblical references there are to beer, or anything else besides wine. It will help me in the occasional debate (argument). Can anyone provide any specific verses. Thanks.

I just ran out of beer, so I'm already IN hell

Before I begin, I would like to say I am sorry if anything I am about to say offends anyone except for this fellow who thinks drinking beer is a sin. He can kiss my ass. But to the rest of you who brew your own beer God bless you for keeping our tradition alive.

Now what I was about to say.

Is drinking beer a sin for a heathen such as myself? No. Odin himself drinks Mead, all of my ancestors drank mead so I drink Mead and all of your ancestors drank Mead or Ale and I can say this without knowing your race because it was a gift from the Gods. If you have a problem with beer you have a problem with your ancestors and that is not our problem, some of us are not so quick to abandon our people like you do. You need to go take a good look in the mirror then go to the store and buy some beer and enjoy it while you still have some life in you. The Gods gave you free will so that you can choose your own path, if you prefer to be so anal and hateful of others then so be it but stay out of our face. We love beer and the homemade brew is the best and we prefer it. My wife said, and I quote "Honey, I don't like you making beer in our house" I promptly replied "I am sorry, my ancestors tradition comes before you." If you think this is a sin then let all of your peoples tradition die with you. No one here will care nor will it matter to us. We prefer to keep the traditions alive and brewing the Nector of The God's is the most important of all traditions in the world because it was given to us by our shared ancestor, Odin the Almighty God (for those of us who still keep the religion of our family) for everyone else it is at least agreed that some deity gave us this great gift. We can trace the making of Mead back before history itself. It is embeded in us. No matter how much you complain it will never go away unless you intend on killing everyone you disagree and that would be sick.

My advice to everyone is to keep your traditions alive. Do not let these Christian haters yank your traditions away like they did so many of my people. They come in pushing their evil ways upon everyone destroying the fabric of their people and that is not right. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. You are the foundation of our people be you american or canadian or mexican. It doesnt matter just keep it alive. That is most important because your ancestors know more than you think and they are constantly with you helping you in whatever you do.

I want to be like Jesus, that is why I make wine.
