[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 441366, member: 484"] problem is that business closing on their own convictions are fine. chick-fil-a is a great example of that type of conviction. the problem with the blue laws is that the state dictated what day you needed to observe and take off. and that is where the rubber hits the road with "christians and christians". devout believers that sunday is to be kept as a day of rest and is holy can and do so on their own. the problem is that the state was telling everybody to be closed as a religious observance. problem is what if i believe that another day is holy. take saturday for instance. in my business, and is many others, the weekend is a large portion of the total sales for the week. 80 or more percent. now, i am devout and take saturday off, but for this example, sunday is just another day. why should my business be barred from being open if there are customers that wish to shop here on sunday? what right does the state have to dictate that type of "morality"? which brings me to the next stage. if you allow the gooberment, which does such a great job with everything they touch, to teach your children what is moral and what is not, teach them the science of evolution, teach them there is no right or wrong, that everything is relative. if you allow this type of teaching in our schools............wait, that is exactly what has been going on. parents have been allowing the school to teach our children what they think is right and wrong, what they think is important values for your child to carry them though their lives. maybe that is why there has been a decline in morality, relativism from the top office in the land to the board rooms and dens of our once great country. we can no longer discriminate between right and wrong, as that is now a hate crime. our country is suffering from a real lack of common sense. and our gooberment is not the one to bring it back. you are. by your actions, your words, your beliefs. did you pass them on to your offspring, or are you letting daycare and the school system do it for you? that is why. and only we can stop it. now, as to getting back on topic, just because i dont believe in santa and believe that christmas is holy is not an indication that i hate Jesus. to the contrary. so dont make a religious statement about who you offend when you say merry christmas. cause it is not me. so to one and all, merry christmas, unless you are one of the ones forced to work, then happy fat paycheck. :wink2: d [/QUOTE]
