It is scary. But not at all surprising. After all, the whole purpose of religion, other than to give preachers a relatively cushy job, is to make people feel better about their poor lot in life so they don't revolt against those in power.

But those must have been Swedish Baptists, Tom. Here in the southern US, you'd be hard pressed to find any alcohol at a wedding.
