Letter: Non-drinker thinks being dry is hypocritical C. Pearson says: Alcohol is no evil, people; it is a liquid in a bottle. By C Pearson Personal commentary-personal opinion I want to start off by saying I don't drink at all. I do however feel most counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky are hypocrites. They claim to be Holy when most of the revenue made in Kentucky comes from Jim Beam. Walmart sells mixers for alcohol, and bootleggers are making a killing here in Adair County; and not one red cent of that money goes to the county. Col. William Casey School, is in bad need of repair; the children who attend this year will suffer another winter. Some class rooms are so hot a window has to be opened, while others are so cold children have to wear a coat.Illness runs amuck all winter long, and the tax from alcohol sales in Adair county could help that a lot. Everyone needs to face the facts, people who drink are going to drink, and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop that. The Sheriff's department deals with drunk drivers every day, so "staying dry" is stupid. There is no dry. The taxes from the alcohol sales in Adair county could help better equip the law enforcement agencies efforts to thwart drinking and driving. The taxes collected from alcohol sales could also add a few jobs to Adair county, because now we would be able to afford someone to go along and pick up the trash on the sides of the road, you know the beer cans that are already present. We have to clean it up now at least we could get paid for it. Christians will tell you, "drinking is a sin" when that appears no where in the Bible. Paul writes we should not be drunk with strong drink, not because it is a sin to drink, but because when you are drunk, you are still responsible for your actions. Paul also writes that we are to take a little wine for our body's sake. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding feast. This was not grape juice, people, it was wine. So get off the Holier than thou attitude and actually read the bible. Stop crying out against alcohol on Sunday morning, then going home popping the cap on a cold one and watching a football game. I will never understand why Christians are so afraid of sin. If you have the salvation you are claiming to have no amount of sin can harm you. If you are truly washing in the blood of Christ, then you will know what Paul was talking about, and will stop pressing man's doctrine on Christ's teachings. Alcohol is no evil, people; it is a liquid in a bottle. People make alcohol sinful by their actions, and also endanger their own soul by preaching a false doctrine. Allow Adair county to become wet, and remember this is coming from a non-drinking. The county needs the revenue, in case you missed it; we are in a economical downfall right now. -C Pearson This story was posted on 2011-08-30 16:26:22
