We went camping in Devil's Den this past weekend. Since we forgot to bring beer, Abby went into "town" to see if she could come up with some while I was setting up the tent in scattered rain. After over an hour she finally returned from West Fork, Arkansas empty handed. Turns out the beer couldn't be bought because the churches had bought up all the liquor licenses in that town. I don't know if that is even possible, but even the idea raises several points. First and most importantly, this is the classic case of Christ against culture. Normally this is done through political power. However, here it is done through the free market- capitalism at its best.
Furthermore, what a stand to take, churches! Good job on establishing the right standards.

I don't think this is right at all. Who is to say what is a good standard and what is not. Churches should be the ones to decide how a city is run? What about freedom of religion does this mean only freedom of what certain churches want any others just don't have a say at all. Ask the people of West Fork if they think you shouldn't be able to buy a bottle of wine on Friday evening if you want. This country and its people have become blind to what is right and wrong we should just all become communist- Let the government and the church be the same and tell everybody how to act and what to say. We are going that way lets just do it and quit pretending we are free.
