Though I haven’t encountered anyone from my church while buying alcohol, I haven’t run into any issues with it. Though being that after one beer its nap time for me I generally go easy on the happy juice. [I still have liquor purchased when I was 21, now I'm nearly 26.]

Sorry for the delayed response but CATHOLICS ARE CHRISTIANS. Jesus Christ is our savior, same as He is yours. Nothing upsets me more than attacks on the Catholic faith as being "non-Christian"

Just move to Louisiana. You can buy liquor just about anywhere.

The church I attend on Sunday morning MEETS at a bar… My dad pointed out, that might at well have it there, as that's where the tithe's spent each Saturday night We generally refrain from imbibing until AFTER the service however. Is a bar higher or lower than a liquor store on the sin list? Just need to make sure attending church in a pub doesn't push me over the weekly sin quota…

LOL!!! I've been in a liquor store once in my life and that was to buy some Jack Daniels for a hot toddy (truth, I promise!!). I'd had a nasty case of bronchitis and the meds weren't helping. This was my last resort. I asked the cashier how to make one and he told me, likely laughing his butt off at me fumbling and trying to cover myself.

Thankfully no one from my church was there or around. How bad would it be to catch the church pianist/secretary in a liquor store….

I'm laughing so hard. I thought these kind of things only happened to me. Awesome!

You're supposed to go to the liquor store. If you spot the pastor's wife an aisle over, beat her to the inevitabe "What brings you here?"

I tell ya, there is nothing better than a rum and coke while playing a little black jack or texas holdem.

Easy–Just become Presbyterian. I once ran into my pastor at the liquor store.

One of the reasons I like SCL is because it is such an eye-opener about the diverse ways that people interpret & live the Christian faith. I knew the "alcohol: good or bad" debate would get a range of responses. I didn't know that some people don't believe that Catholics count as Christians. Huh, didn't see that one coming.
