And it would give Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, and Jewish people two days of enforced downtime each week. Just imagine how rested and refreshed they'd all be on Mondays. Actually the JWs meet on Sundays, but I get your point. And I'm sure that would be an outcry, maybe even litigation. And heaven forbid that the will of the majority, Christians, decided that Sunday be the chosen day IF the country went back to closing businesses one day a week. Maybe in another 2000 years people will figure out that God surely couldn't care less which day of the week groups hold religious services on...sigh. I was thinking last night about the trail of legislation that has done away with things Christians held near and dear. I remembered the huge manger scenes that my state Capitol put up every year and the fact that hotel rooms no longer put Bibles in drawers. And then for some reason I thought about Karla Faye Tucker's spiritual conversion and others I've personally known who had prison conversions, wondering why it is that prison ministries haven't been legislated away? Isn't that odd since most prisons are state institutions?
