would you be more apt to attend church if it had a bar?

Question

Would you be more likely to go to church if you could order a beer and instead of saying amen could yell cheers?

and if they expect you to fall asleep why isnt there a cot section?

I know many of you thought this to be a silly question however I just saw on TV where a beer church was opened in Ireland. and to be honest the place was packed. and yes they had a cot section

Answer 1

I'd be more likely to go if you went with me. You are lookin FINE.

Answer 2

Great questions! I would take the church with the bar, with the cheers too. I would move the whole operation out into a shallow underground pool. You know, an outdoor church. That way we could all sit or stand in the pool. The bartender would BE the priest.

So instead of marching up an aisle like tired sheep for communion of wine and wafers, we'd swagger up to get our shots of Tequila or Marguarita refills (Cheers!) and praise God for "these gifts we are about to receive."

All tithings would go toward a forever fully stocked inventory of spirits for the bar; a kiosk placed partially underwater. We'd hold services close to sundown and have our drunken alter boys pass out free Bananaboat suntan lotion for our paler congregation members. And Alkaseltzer for the alcohol aftermath.

We'd have pan music and conga drum players lined up at the shallowest part of the pool, bringing forth great Raggae in place of dull droning choir singers. We'd have great big inner tubes for people who need to enjoy a nice nap during the sermon (or a respite from the alchy spins).

Actually there is a new church in our community that took over a restaurant location. They don't serve beer, but they do serve coffee during the service, so I don't think they expect anyone to fall asleep.

And, of course, there are churches where people do yell out inspirational messages. Amen! Hallelujah!

Answer 4

http://www.southsidelife.com is where I usually attend
Held in a school gym. Starbucks Coffee for free, Rolls with Butter, etc.. Back of gym there is space to flop out if need be.

People do cheer with == Way to do!, YaaaaaaaaMann!, anything.
I don't think in the three years attending I ever did hear an Amen

Collection is by free will offering---first three times attending, visitors money is REFUSED!

Answer 5

Well, we are just a little uptight in the States, I guess. I heard one minister who was ministering in a pub in Ireland. He said if they like you, they buy you a pint. He said he had 46 pints lined up (he is good) and as people came over to be prayed for he gave 'em prayer and a pint. The Irish have all the fun.

Hoping the best for you...

Answer 6

Naw, man. There are so many angry old people at church, if they had a bar it would all just go downhill. It's bad enough the way it is, do you really want a bunch of angry old drunk people running around on a Sunday morning?

Answer 7

Any church truly committed to God wouldn't want you to fall asleep. Nor would they provide you beer because God is the best time in the world (and because beer is generally not good for you). You don't need beer when you have God.

Answer 8

Could the backs of the pews have little tv screens? Can they pass around bar nuts instead of collection plates? If you get this, then I am in

Answer 9

Yeah and they try to tell kids that pot is bad, but did God not say that every seed bearing plant was put here for us to use? What better way to use it if not to smoke it. You don't really want to wear it because it is rather itchy and you can buy many different kinds of rope. It was meant to smoke and release stress.

Answer 10

The Bar is my Church

Answer 11
