Of course, there's economic development that comes along with Snellville restaurants being able to sell alcohol on Sundays. We need the business here - and that's a valid point. But I feel strongly that a bigger issue is that church and state should be separated.
Some will try to tell you it's not about church and state, but if it's not, then tell me why the alcohol in restaurants ban is on Sundays? If it's to save us all from drunk drivers, then a better day to ban alcohol in restaurants would be Friday or Saturday.
To me it's very scary to have government enforcing religious-based laws. I don't drink more than 1 cup of wine per year so I'm not voting yes just so I can drink on Sundays. It's because I don't need the government to be my mommy. I'm not in favor of prohibition.
If you believe in "honor the Sabbath day to keep it holy," that's fine and I would even encourage you to follow your religious and/or moral beliefs. But I believe it's wrong to expect everyone else to believe the way you believe in regard to a legal product. So if you don't want to drink on Sunday, don't drink on Sunday. You can do that without controlling others and trying to tell them what to do. It's that simple.
I will be voting YES at Snellville City Hall.
