Easter and Eating Out

Over Easter, pubs may only serve alcohol with meals. Why? say pub owners, Why can we not serve alcohol to drinkers? After all, it's a public holiday, we're not very religious, people want to drink...

More correctly: Pub owners want to sell drinks. Any time, any day. That's where they get their profits.

One pub owner was reported as saying that Easter is just a public holiday... why should drinking be restricted... Australians are not very religious anyway.

Do you see the paradox?

Australians are not very religious. So Easter is just a public holiday... Hang on... If we are not very religious -- then why is Easter a holiday?!

As I understand it -- not being very religious myself -- Easter is a Christian celebration. If we do not want to celebrate a Christian event -- why do we need that holiday? To take the pub owner's logic to its reasonable conclusion: There should be no Easter holidays...

Sorry, mate -- you can't have it both ways!
