I'd suspect this cult does the same thing.

I've been to a few of my friend's prayer services (or whatever they are called) at his Baptist church (I'm Catholic, mind you). He said the grape juice was more or less so they had a non-alcoholic drink. They see it as symbolic of the "blood of Christ" and not actually his blood drank in communion, so they figure they can simply substitute something in for wine.

I guess it's so the kids can drink it.

I forgot about that difference. That's a lot more reasonable.


Edit: Crap! I was going to rep you, but you're fake-banned. >.<;

Ah, well.

It's the thought that counts.
