Question:

What's the difference between:

(1) A man who does not kill a man, because he believes every person
has a right to live thier own life,

and

(2) A man who does not kill a man, because a supernatural entity will
punish him if he does?

The answer has much to do with Georgia law and the United States
Constitution. 

*** For those you you who have been following this discussion
intelligently, you know I am only using this alcohol issue as
a simple example of a general class of Georgia law.
