I thought some of you might get a kick out of this:
No, we are definitely not in the bible belt...Alcohol on sidewalks
What would God do?
This is in response to “Wild” Bill Ochsner's letter from Monday, Aug. 20. In his letter, Bill expresses his opinion that the bars of Missoula should not be allowed to serve alcohol on the sidewalks because “the drunks” will then be closer to the curbs. He then anticipates that gambling machines and the dancers from Fred's strip joint will be the next to occupy our sidewalks. He closes his letter by telling us he is “an evangelist.”
I must start by stating that I am not quite sure what an evangelist is. But I do know some things about the Bible. I know that the first miracle of Jesus was to turn water into wine, and I know that he initiated drinking wine at The Last Supper. I know that Noah, the man that God “was pleased with” and “had no faults,” planted a vineyard and got himself pass-out-naked drunk after the flood was over and was back on dry land. Thanks, Noah - for planting that first vineyard.
And I know something about televangelists. I know about the likes of Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. If I am sure of anything, it is that the pretty girls at Fred's have earned their money with much more honesty than these charlatans have.
