It's funny how all these rules regarding the 'afterlife' are created by people who are still alive.

Be the best person you can be. If that isn't good enough to get your 'ticket punched' then you never had a chance no matter what you did.

it is important to keep the sabbath holy[wholy]...mainly so the boss dont work their slaves to death...7 days a week WORK..is indefenS-ABLE..that being said the sabbath starts the night before[and ends as night falls]

the isue with the cows...just means the cows get milked late saterday..afternoon..till sunday arvo...naturally the calves would be let in with their mothers...but things are out of wack..its all done gone to hell...so we do as we chose..[or rather as our master choses]

its interesting to note the media are by and large saturday sabbath types...underneath the laws is a certain logic and fairness...like the land sabbath...returning to its owners..ater 49 years...funny how that never happend...violate one law violates them all

anyhow no one is perfect..[but one;...god]...dont everyone deserve a day off on saterday and sunday...before we went 24/7...let war at least be in abayance two days per week

For another slant on this subject,
I have worked shift-work all my working life,
as have nurses, doctors, paramedics,other health-care workers and hospital staff, chefs, police, media staff
and thousands of other people who have to work Sundays.

And guess what? The sky hasn't fallen in and we all haven't been damned to hell by anyone (yet)! I'm sure most of us manage to spend time with our families and get the shopping done and pray to our Gods etc.

Amazingly, there are also plenty of God-fearing people, who demand we all rest on the day of the Sabbath, who are willing to access the services of any of the above on the Sabbath if it suits their needs.

A bit hypocritical then to call it a day of rest for ALL people, and then quite happily use the services of those who have no choice but to work on the 'Holy Day' for the good of the community wouldn't you say?

Common sense doesn't enter into the thoughts of a few here suze. According to their rules (and I'm Christian) you're basically screwed no matter what you do. If God IS THAT anal over the rules and regulations then we should probably accept the fact he's playing games.

If you were the equivalent to Mother Theresa in public health but you did it on Sunday and that will DOOM ya?....puh-lease. I'd suggest God will be more concerned about WHAT you do, not when you do it.

it must be noted that we have many different holy days..and sabbath days...some begin sabbath on friday night

others sat morning
others sunday morning
..

[yet others on monday...notably the rainbow people...
calling it lazy mon-day]

but regardless
a full day and nights rest..per working week is a base minimum

many take their sabbath as holy

from monday morning is work...till friday aternoon...
then the weekend is myne..ITS SACROCANT

in truth life should be more about you...
so two days leasure for you..should become.... 3 days work
