Appreciating the Taste of Beer and Food in Fellowship
The history of Christianity and Judaism shows that there were times when it was considered acceptable, and even beneficial, to overindulge in food and drink, such as during Mardi Gras in the Catholic Church. However, the speaker believes that appreciating the taste of beer and food in fellowship, rather than overindulging, is the key. They also mention that Tolkien and Lewis viewed Jesus's behavior in the Gospels as appropriate or even virtuous, and discussed the theme of mercy being a virtue.
