Alcohol should be sold 24/7.

So should all drugs, prostitutes, etc.

Anything less is a violation of the separation of church and state, as well as the Right to Privacy.


There is no such thing as the principle separation of church and state.  Go read your Federalist Papers and/or buy an education.

Why should anyone read that?  It isn't in the constitution, is it?  What garbage, next you'll be having me read the bible.  Why don't you go read the Communist Manifesto - it has about as much relevance.

If they pass a law that says we must pray every day or be arrested, is it not unconstitutional because it doesn't say why according to your reasoning?
Prayer is a religious activity, and may not be regulated by the government. Buying alcohol on a Sunday is not a religious activity.

But not buying alcohol on Sunday is.

It is not inherently religious. Just because someone does not buy alcohol on a Sunday, it does not follow that he does so for religious reasons.

Prayer, on the other hand, is a purely religious activity.

Banning the sale of alcohol on sunday is the imposition of a religious stricture.  If individuals choose not to purchase alcohol on Sunday, that is merely a personal preference.
