Why does the church care about this?

Does this mean that the church considers anyone who drinks alcohol to be sinning?

If it caught the attention of my son, perhaps it is the intention of these companies that produce the "alcopops" to target young kids about how malt beverages would be a refreshing thirst quencher. If so, then it should only be sold in liquor stores where juveniles are not allowed. Then again, I may be way off and just an over-concerned parent.

Vodka looks like water, should they make it pea-green so it doesn't look too much like water? Cough syrup comes in cherry flavors and contains alcohol, should it be sold in a state liquor store? Was your son able to buy it? Say someone 21 years old went to the liquor store to buy some "alcopops" at 3.2 percent and while he was there, it was next to some Everclear (80% alcohol, or something, I forget), thought that would be cool, so he got some of that, too. Now the manufacturers have just drawn the casual drinker in for the hard stuff rather than keeping them browsing the beer cooler at the grocery store. Is that good? |

The church needs to start acting like the international organization that it is and stop meddling in utah politics. It becomes embarrassing.

The problem is that at its heart (or at least that of the leadership) it is still the church of the Utah pioneers. It is Utah first, everything else 2nd. Until that changes (and it only will when most of the leadership comes from outside of Utah) nothing else will. But I agree with you wholeheartedly.

there are good things about a gentocracy. There are also not-so-good things.
