Good point about water to wine thing. What is the theological basis for the abstinence advocated by some Christian denominations?

they ought to revise them and get jesus (a known alcohol provider) out of my liquor laws.

Yes, Presbyterians are totally down with beer, wine and good ol’ likker. (And At Home in Decatur, let’s not forget the hard-drinking Scots – there are not too many Irish Presbyterians, I’ll wager.) As a tippling member of the “groovy 60s thing”, I’d ask that no one blame us for ordinances that result in the harshing of Melton’s mellow. That being said, we ain’t gonna pack up and move, either. Our location means we can get our Jesus on and then grab a beer after Sunday service faster than anybody else in the Decatur area. Can I get an AMEN?

They really ought to revise the laws to be denomination-specific. For example, I happen to know that Presbyterians and Catholics are ok with drinking. In fact, it may be required at Irish wakes ♣ .

Yeah, just another example of their quirkiness…The North Decatur Presbyterian may be too close to Melton’s. The distance is measured by walking from door to door using sidewalks. Maddy’s was within the threshold distance of the Baptist church, but beyond that of the Presbyterian. Just shows you the power of Baptists in Georgia ;).
