I remember the Blue Laws era when NO stores were open on Sunday! Those were the good old days.

Christianity is supposed to be a religion that one follows, not make others follow.

A lot of towns in the South still have blue laws. Nothing open at all on Sundays, or very little open. A couple of year ago I was in my hometown in North Carolina when me and my brother went to the store to get some beer. It was 11 in the morning and he told me you couldn’t buy beer till 1 PM. I said why. He said stores can’t sell it till after church services. We stayed in the parking lot at Food Lion till 10 minutes to 1 and went in the store and got the beer. Got to cashier and had to stand there till it was exactly one o’clock. Cashier kept looking at her watch and finally sold it to us. She said she didn’t want to get arrested for selling it before 1. Now years absolutely nothing was open on Sunday and you were not buying any alcohol. My brother would always get me to go out to the Fort Bragg Class 6 to buy him a fifth of Seagrams 7.
