A Sobering Look at Sunday

"...some communities have rejected the idea of a country that never sleeps in favor of keeping one day a week for family, church, or whatever."

Least ye forget, we are no longer the society we were in the 1940's. Mass transit, a global economy and mass communications have created new family structures. A resurgence of religious freedom means we don't all have to be "Christian' in order to fit into society. The majority of mainstream religions don't even recognize Sunday as a holy day, a day of rest or anything other than another day in the week. Besides, this isn't talking about the whole country - merely the 'bible belt' areas where a religious restriction is imposed on a whole society for no other reason than to keep the sabbath holy.

That's unconstitutional.

And for those who feel it's heretical to serve alcohol on the sabbath, keep this in mind: The parishioners may be far more alert and able to listen to a sermon if they are not suffering from a massive hangover brought on by binging the night before because you can't buy a beer on Sunday.
