The concept of sin has been present in many cultures throughout history, where it was usually equated with an individual’s failure to live up to external standards of conduct.

Worship how you wish, even if it is in sin.

Freedom of religion is after all the American way.

Guess that's not true on the east and west coast, I wonder if the atheist materialists would agree with you.

Oh, this is easy. Strip clubs, pot shops, and booze shops all bring excise tax revenue to the host state and churches don't.

You want churches open during the next inevitable pandemic? Support taxing them, make them being open profitable.

Can't believe I have to explain capitalism to right-wingers, good lord.

Lol, I'm well aware of the reason. Doesn't make it any less silly when the entire pretense was under "health and well being, critical services ect"

Stripping, pot sales, and booze sales bring more benefit to more people than churches do

That's the fault of the churches themselves and the capitalists that have corrupted them and turned them into places of hatred, the state is only being pragmatic when it leaves one business open and another quasi-business closed

Besides, there's tools to meet online and shit. Like God cares if you're in a specific building.

You can go online to see boobies, yeah, but you can't go online to get drunk or high

Booze benefits the state? Domestic violence, road accidents, and obesity?

I strongly disagree.

Just put your personal opinions on the good or bad of these things aside for a moment.

Tax revenue. And some of those bad things booze and weed causes will increase incarceration down the road, which also benefits the state as prisoners often provide slave labor. There may be for-profit prisons involved later, too.

Plus, the carceral system helps advance the cause of white supremacy, which the state supports. The people who work for the state may not be white supremacists, obviously, or even the politicians, but the whole thing writ large enforces white power. Can't say if that happened naturally or deliberately.

There's all the ancillary benefits of this, too. Lawyers getting their payouts for being prosecutors or defenders, judges, cops, clerks at city hall... everything is connected. The health issues it causes generate shitloads of revenue in doctor's offices and hospitals everywhere.

I can't say if all of the obesity and alcoholism costs more than it brings in, there's no balance sheet for that kind of stuff.

Churches don't cause that kind of revenue. Vices do.

Then why in all the religious bible belt states alcohol is illegal?

I totally disagree with this, this is literally the methidology the CIA used to justify the crack epidemic.

It's probubly the same one they use while they control the poor population with fentynol now.

Gambling is great, i love it, makes the poors happy (another family ruined because of this vice) its ok because most of the poor are happy (another kid grows up with out a father because he went to jail trying to pay for his drug habbit)
