Baby Jesus and Beer on Sundays (1 Viewer)

[joffer]

I can get alcohol served at my local sports bar on Sunday before noon, but I have to have a muffin top on the table too.

my county in SC overwhelmingly voted to allow alcohol sales on Sunday.  If we can do it in South Carolina, surely you can have laws changed in Texas.  Perhaps there is a more impactful place to rant?  I suggest taking this to teh Facebook.

All of the blame for having to wait a few hours to buy your alcohol but none of the credit for the day of rest in the first place? 

The day of rest was Saturday. Or more specifically from sundown Friday night, to sundown Saturday night.

All business being closed on Sunday came from Greco-Roman culture. In the 4th century, Constatine made Christianity the official religion of Rome, and one of the results of that is Sunday replaced Saturday within Christendom.... which makes sense as having Christians take Saturday off while the heathens continue to take Sunday off would be f'ing annoying from a commerce stand point.

I don't think this is correct.

Isn't this the case with any law? Invisible God or not?

Have sex with a girl 10 min before her 18th birthday, your are a pedophile and put on the sex offender list. 1 minute after her 18th birthday

Get pulled over and blow 0.15 you get a DUI lose your license, car, surcharges, perhaps your job....blow 0.14.....it's all good

Certainly there are many arbitrary lines drawn... this one was drawn by a god.

Or so the men said that wanted to leverage that god to get their way and influence others.

Then blame the lawmakers, not baby Jesus

Look man everyone knows that when Jesus wasn't at the gun range or slapping homosexuals back to straightness he was campaigning to get ye olde liquor stores to close on Sundays. So how about you have some respect for the guy who got hammered to a cross for our sins (sins like drinking on sunday) and do your shopping a day early.

I love beer runs to the grocery store on Sundays around noon. Lots of sexy Sunday dresses. I don't mind waiting a few more minutes.

According to Sally this is also why they don't make Sunday underwear.

I can't buy a 6 pack of beer because it isn't moral on religious grounds for 4 hours yet.

However, at that magical moral hour, I can then freely buy my 8 and 10 year olds alcohol at whatever restaurant we happen to eat.

I just wanted to post here thanking Jesus religious people for looking out for me and my children.

You can mock these laws all you want, but I'd suggest getting the source correct.

Men telling other men what an invisible being says those other men should or shouldn't do.

In this case, it is obviously the Christian god they were/are specifically referring to for their moral authority.

Being that I don't believe in such beings, I of course was not implying for a second that I thought a god (nor the son of one) actually made the law.

Spent much of this week in New Orleans and I want to praise whoever it was that invented closing time and first call. Not sue I would have lived past 30 without it.
