It heavily hints (ie guilt trip) that Christians should vote against alcohol sales in restaurants in Snellville on Sundays.
It says: "Please make this critical issue a matter of prayer, and follow your convictions." We have to ask, whose convictions? The convictions they decide we should have? lol!
I think some people are trying to make this issue a battle between believers and non-believers. Clearly though, many non-drinking Christians see this as an economic, freedom-to-conduct-business and liberty issue, and believe the Sunday alcohol sale issue should get a resounding YES vote. Why do some want to guilt-trip you into the vote they think you should give? I don't need my church or minister telling me which way to vote, just as I don't call Snellville City Hall when I need spiritual advice!
I have followed my conviction that there is nothing wrong with consuming an alcoholic beverage in a restaurant in Snellville on a Sunday. If those opposing Sunday alcohol sales in restaurants are concerned about alcoholism, people who are truly alcoholics aren't going to let the Sunday restaurant alcohol ban keep them from getting it. They're going to figure out a way to get it, and not being able to buy it in a restaurant on a Sunday doesn't even figure into the equation.
It's part of my convictions to defend people who are not of the same faith as myself to have the right and liberty to consume a legal product in a responsible manner on any day of the week - unhindered by the religious beliefs of someone else.I will also defend the right of Snellville businesses to earn a legal profit on a legal consumable product they are licensed to sell in Snellville, Gwinnett County, in the State of Georgia.
The last I heard, Snellville was in the United States of America. Ending the oppression of this prohibition will only be better for Snellville's economy (more quality businesses will mean a lower property tax, among other positive aspects).
Cities all around Snellville have accepted legal alcohol sales in restaurants on Sundays. Why should Snellville be stuck in the past?
