Bull crap,
I like a day when I can make money. Also, from local experence, whenever the local businesses try to get blue laws taken off the books, it only the local churches that cause a stink.
They are also the ones that try to ban alcohol sales. DId you see the idiot from alabama that tried to make Athens a dry city. You know "Cause thats what "God" wants.

And now, most stores are open by about noon-I know that because I've gone to the store on Sundays. And the percentage of people in America who were not Christians at the time the blue laws were passed equaled maybe 1% of the population.

So the churches should have no problem with having those laws removed in the 25 states that still have Blue laws.

Those are commandments given to the nation of Israel. They are not applicable to Christians because we were given a new code of living in the New Testament. Anyway, the Hebrew sabbath was from Friday Evening until Saturday evening: note the absence of Sunday in this description.

I'm not a religous person, but you are the first person I've ever heard claim that the 10 Commandments don't apply to christians.

Paul Hill was mentally ill. And these have been refuted. Imo, if Hill wasn't mentally ill, he should have been executed for murder.

Well the State of Florida didn't view him as Mentally Ill. He was executed in 2003

Those groups mentioned are Catholic groups: Catholic does not equal Christian. I will not deny that the Roman Catholic Church is one of the most murderous, and evil organizations in history.

The Army of God isn't a Catholic group. The only AoG person that has said they were a Catholic was Rudolph. Hill was a AoG member, the whacko Neal Horsley is a spokeman for the AoG
But if we want to branch out how about the National Liberation Front of Tripura in India that is funded by Baptist?
So are Cathlics responsible for all the 41 bombings, 173 arsons, 91 attempted bombings or arsons,1264 incidences of vandalism, and 100 attacks with butyric acid against abortion clinics?
And where were the religous leaders condemning all those acts?
