Religion News in Brief

Jerry Falwell Jr.as well as the Governor of Virginia seem to have an ulterior motive for privatizing liquor stores; it’s called MONEY! When one gets right down to it, these religious-types are all about MONEY, which is what religion generates. There are no holy books, no holy lands, no miracles, no answered prayers, no heaven and no hell. There is however, plenty of MONEY to be made. And you know what I say to that: They should be ashamed of themselves, for being professional pickpockets and stealing from the poor and needy.

No doubt these crooked individuals will have their hand in the kitty and will get even richer from all the money to be made from booze. TGO

Jerry Falwell Jr. endorses proposal to privatize state-owned liquor stores

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Gov. Bob McDonnell’s plan to put Virginia’s state-run alcohol sales in private hands and triple the number of liquor stores scored a big endorsement from the Christian right.

Jerry Falwell Jr., the chancellor of Liberty University and namesake son of the late minister and political activist, endorsed McDonnell’s liquor privatization proposal Tuesday.

Falwell said he felt the founders never intended for government to be in the liquor retailing business.

But McDonnell has encountered resistance to his plan from an interfaith coalition concerned that boosting the number of stores from 332 now to 1,000 will worsen alcoholism, damage families and put more drunks on the highways.
