Re: What is the alternative?
Thanks. I just hate it when our religious leaders pick and choose which things they deem to me moral and immoral. If you don't support alcohol then go all the way and boycott any place that serves or sells it. Don't say that it’s immoral for it to be in FanninCounty, but A-ok if I go to East Ellijay and frequent those establishments. And if you are going to live by your words then that means no Longhorn’s, no Ruby Tuesday's, No Las Palmas, No restaurant that sells alcohol of any kind, no Ingles, no Food Lion, no Wal-Mart, no store of any kind that sells and distributes alcohol in any fashion. If you choose to abstain from the consumption of alcohol, then that’s fine, but do not under any circumstances try to take my choice away from me. When I read the Bible, I glean from the pages that a religious relationship was all about personal choice. It’s a choice to make good decisions and a choice to make bad decisions. Even if you choose to not believe in a Creator or Savior that is still your personal choice. If you do not consume alcohol then have a coke or a glass of tea. Nobody is making you drink alcohol. But let others have the freedom to make their own choice. Jesus wasn't a Socialist. He didn't come here to make us all equal. He came to give us another choice.
