Man frequents tavern to break religious spirit.


Posted by Hello
NEWPORT NEWS — Doug Terrel felt he was being influenced by a religious spirit, making him judgmental and closed-minded, so he began visiting a local bar to celebrate his freedom in Christ.

"A religious spirit won't go near a bar, so I'm safe in there," he says downing a second Guinness stout at the Pit Stop.

Church members say Terrel has stopped showing up for weekday prayer meetings since he started battling his "demon of legalism." What began as a spiritual housecleaning has become a full-fledged hobby.

At the Pit Stop, Terrel appears untroubled.
"I used to live by 'don't taste, don't touch.' Now it's pass the beer nuts and who's up for a game of darts?" he says. "That religious spirit takes it on the chin every time I'm here." •

I love www.larknews.com. Hilarious.
