religion is not the answer.

think of it like this.

some of us went to school and learned and excelled. Church is just Religion School

and some of us do better being home-schooled.

hahaha, by me going to church on Sunday makes my odds of going to heaven 0 in 7, and a bazillion in 7 in the eyes of SDA's since I'm not going to church on Saturday.

I'm sorry, but the bible never says anything about Monday, Tuesday, etc; but rather, First Day, Second Day, etc. So who is to assign Sunday to First Day, and Saturday to Seventh Day?

I realize that, but isn't our calendar based on non-Christians? So why would Christians utilize it and base the biblical days onto it?

think about it.

if non-christians designed our calendar THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO and religion has adopted it, without changing it to their benefit (catholic church actually attempted to change the calendar, and the USSR tried a 5 day week which was a disaster) don't you think that makes it MORE legit?

You kinda lost me, but no, I don't.

I just want to know why we simply cannot take a day out of our week to do our observances to God. Why does it have to be a specific day? Wouldn't God be happy with people taking a day out of their busy schedule to think about Him?

one of the 10 commandments is "remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, 6 days shalt thou labor blah blah blah but the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god blah blah blah"

so, if you want to worship god because you respect him, wouldn't it also be respectful to do it on the day he asked you to? if you don't it makes you kind of arrogant.. like if you were going to go to a car meet that met on tuesdays but you only showed up on wednesdays..

I'm really wondering who assigned which days to which names. You might know, and if you, please tell me. I'm all up for learning.

Like I told my ex, I do not associate myself with any religion, but rather take what I think is good from what I learn about religions, and apply it to my beliefs.
