Baptists drink? Since when?
That must be some sect that i am not familiar with. That is not how we normally operate, although, i did have a similar experience to yours once. My ex-wife and I had moved and were "shopping around" for a new church. I had one rule when going to a new church. I would only go to a large church. I did not want to go to a small church where everyone keeps up with everyone. So there is a this large church right down from our house about a half a mile and we decide to go check it out. So we walk in the door on Sunday morning and said large church was in fact not large. The building must have had a lot of dead space b/c they had way more building than they needed. There must have not been 20 people in the joint. Well, i could have sworn that when we walked in the door, the music stopped and everyone looked at us like we had just landed from outer space. It probably took us 20 mins to get out of there after the service. I would guess that we shook the hand of every single one of those 20 people before we got out of there.
So long story short, you must have gone to too small of a church.
Hey, I'm Catholic, we start drinking in church and keep it going from there.
