I also agree. There is a neighbor i talk to he is in his 70s. HE goes every Sunday every wens day and hands out booklets about the church and god and so on.
He says and the pastor there says. alcohol is a sin in any amount. But he cooks with wine all the time. He even told me he tasted the stuff he bought and it is nasty. Alcohol is bad but smoking and chewing tobacco is OK.
I have been to church all over thecountry and there is all ways something that is wrong with each one.
I have never found something wrong with worshiping god in the woods.

My "problem" with Christians today....is the belief by some of themthat the only place to worship is in Church. What is "Church"? Can it be abstract? Does it really matter what you think?
I'm with Schulty. I pick and choose my times to have my talks.....and I'd rather be in his back yard when we do so.
What troubles me about religious "conflicts" (i.e. should I hunt or go to Church?; Miss a Sunday @ Church?; etc...) is the utter hypocrisy of it all. Our son used to go to Christian School (still goes to Church, there)....and they would preach how ANY alcohol was dreadfully sinful. Ditto some music of today (including some that might surprise you). Yet these people are involved in affairs......weigh 300#'s+.......etc.. That sickens me.
Hunting is personal. A man's relationship with God is personal. I wish everyone wouldfocus their energy into tending totheir own relationships.
AMEN......
