Do you think all churches should be turned into pubs?

Question

I mean we might as well get some use out of them

Answer 1

There's a Scottish song about that:



O, what a parish, a terrible parish,
O, what a parish is that o' Dunkel',
They hangit their minister, droon'd their precentor
Dang doun the steeple, and fuddled the bell.
The steeple was doun, but the Kirk was still staunin',
They biggit a lum whaur the bell used to hang,
A stellpat they gat and they brewed Hieland whisky,
On Sundays they drank it, and ranted and sang.
O, had you but seen how graceful it lookit
To see the cramm'd pews sae socially join
Macdonald the piper stuck up in the poopit
He made the pipes skirl out music divine.
Wi' whisky and beer, they'd curse and they'd swear
They'd argy and fecht what ye daurna weel tell
'Bout Geordie and Cherlie they bothered fu' rarely
Wi' whisky they're worse than the devil himsel'.
When the heart-cheerin' spirit had mounted their garret
To a ball on the green they a' did adjourn
Maids wi' coats kilted, they steppit and liltit
When tired they shook hands, and then hame did return.
If the kirks a'owre Scotland held like social meetin's
Nae warning' ye'd need from a far-tinklin' bell
For a true love and friendship wad draw ye thegither
Far better than roarin' the horrors o' hell.

Answer 2

Lmao, that's a lot of pubs.
Maybe just a few churches, here and there, we got to keep the Christains from preaching in the streets!

They'll be great for concerts, since they already have a stage.
Wooden dance floors, fancy stain glass windows, that would rock.

Someone should buy an old church and turn it into a night club.
Music, dancing, drinking, who could ask for more?

Answer 3

huh, I know what you mean. Are you refering to UK churches? They do seem abandoned. Only old people seem to use them. No I think we should prcatice new revamped 'religion' or some sort of modern spirtualism, maybe just meditation sessions followed by some nice singing (maybe hymns) and social interaction to finish.

But turnining them into pubs is a bit disrespectful and not quite right after all the uk has enough pubs and binge drinking problems.

Answer 4

In your hour of need a pub may rescue you but the morning after - your problems will still be there (if the alchohol hasn't made you so depressed that you do something stupid like end your life!). A church just may save you (no promises but I know the pub ain't the answer!)

Answer 5

I think all pubs should be turned into churches and all churches turned into pubs so in a way yes

Answer 6

it really is basically straightforward in the journey that they'll have AA conferences in church basements. And as long as absolutely everyone is going to some position once a week to coach the self-denial of discomfort in a social putting, you would possibly want to besides do it at an section the position you will get a sport of billiards in too.

Answer 7

I have not attended Church since I was very young. Now that I am older, I would attend regularly as long as the pub/church served Guinness.

Answer 8

Answer 9

No. i think all pubs should be turned into churches

Answer 10

what do you mean? People go to church. Ok, some churches are just wasting away, but that doesn't mean we should just turn them into pubs.
