See, Laura, you do have a talent. You are able to look through all the philosophy and rhetoric and say, "what about the practical viewpoint!" This becomes increasingly important when we consider our societies view of tolerance for other religions and viewpoints. The Muslims have Friday for their Sabbath. What are we going to do? Have three days of rest per week in the name of religion? If as a society we decided to have a day of rest and reverence for God, which day should it be? I would vote for Saturday. The real kicker question is, who would vote to make it a capital offense to break this sabbath? Furthermore, which of us would vote that those guilty of breaking the sabbath should be brought before society where each of us must fulfill our civil duty to throw stones at the person until they were dead? This is as much of the commandment of Torah as keeping the seventh day holy. Who among us could bear such a thing? Peace be with you.
