Some keep the Sabbath by going to church, I keep it by staying home, With a bobolink for a chorister And an orchard for a dome. Emily Dickenson (I don't know if she was a christian, but I'm not. Free country, free public forum.) And your poll options are flawed. Many of my atheist friends spend that time working in a shelter or soup kitchen, working on a habitat for humanity project, or collecting items to donate to Goodwill. Y'know, like, not just sitting on their asses praying. Two hands working do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. |

Meaning what? That Christians have the corner on the market for charitable acts of kindness for their fellow man? Every major religion has commands to help those less fortunate. Some of us... atheists, secular humanists... help those less fortunate because we actually care about those less fortunate, not because some invisible sky father tells us to or we will go to hell when we die. |

You mis-understood, honey. Christians hold Sunday, the day of the Resurrection,
as their day of religious service, which is mandatory. In fact you can attend Mass in the Catholic Church
daily. Many Catholics do. Vince Lombardi did just that.
It is important to some people and is harmless to you.🌸
I was referring to Sundays, right?

I think this will be my 999th post, so I thought I would stop by here.
My Sunday morning is spent catching up on sleep!

Telling myself it's Sunday so I won't drink or look at porn, only to do both of those things before noon.

Then why to Christians, (at least the known denominations) hold Sunday to be their Sabbath? In your vast collection of knowledge.

I voted for visiting relatives, but I don't do it every Sunday.

This thread is a light hearted approach to Sunday. I'll tell you about the olden days. Religious services were early in the day. There was always something special for the family after. In those days most meals were made in the home. Going to a restaurant was unusual more than once a week. That once was usually a family dinner. One chain that did big business Sundays was Colonel Sander's Kentucky Fried Chicken. Another was Krispy Kreme doughnut shops. |

The Colonel and Krispey Kreme were around in the "good olde days"?
