Times are Changing

Sunday is reported to be the second busiest shopping day of the week in every state in America. However, in the state of Georgia, Sunday customers intending to pick up any type of alcohol while on their outing are out of luck. The state of Georgia has strict policies which state that prohibits citizens from purchasing beer, wine, and liquor on Sundays. This law came about during the 1800s when people generally had more conservative views on the Sabbath and keeping the day holy. People's days consisted of going to church, and then staying home for the remainder of the day. However, times have definitly changed; in today's time, many people prefer to stay busy on Sundays by shopping, excercising, or even working. This gives stores which sell alcohol a big incentive to sell alcohol because people are out and would willingly pay for it just as they would any other day; whereas a long time ago, no one was out on Sundays, and most stores were closed anyhow.
Keeping Sundays holy is a Christian belief and the United States is continuing to grow in religious diversity. Though some Christians may view Sunday as a special day of the week, Muslims don't see Sunday any different from any other day; just as Jews do not see Christmas day any differently then the day before. It is unfair to tell a Muslim he may not buy alcohol because it is Sunday, those words mean nothing to him.
The state of Georgia should turn from their out-dated ways of thinking and change some of the traditional laws that do not make sense in today's world. Stores would profit greatly if customers could purchase alcohol and people would not be inconvienced into running out to the store another day of the week when Sunday is their day off. Besides, imagine how much business liquor stores and stores selling alcohol would recieve if alcohol could be sold on Superbowl Sunday!
