Shane,
	I've been following your messages and would like to offer a few
points:

	1. You obviously have something against Christianity.  I have no
problems with this, but don't blame Christians for everything.  Hilter
liked to blame Jews for the ills of Germany, the KKK blame blacks and
minorities, General Motors blames the Japanese for poor auto sales.
It's easy to blame someone else for something you don't like.  Your
assumptions that only Christians got the state to pass this law is without
foundation and in fact is moot.  If you don't like the laws that currently
exists, stop blaming others and do as someone suggested write your
legistators, vote, or run for office (but don't expect my vote :-).

	2. You need to know the difference between constitutional rights
and privledges.  You do not have a constitutional right to buy liquor,
just as driving a vehicle on the highway is not a constitutional right.
It is a privledge that can be regulated by the state.

	3. You are not the only person that lives in Georgia, there are
millions of other people also and we all affect each other.  Laws are
passed for the common good, not for an individuals benefit or
preference.  This is a general statement to let you know that the world
is bigger than one or a few people.  There are generally good reasons
for laws to be passed.  Before dismissing a law because you don't like
it is short-sighted.  You need to know the reasons why it was passed and
see if it applies currently.  Then you might have some solid grounds to
arguing against a law.
