20 gram Soul » sabbath http://20gramsoul.com Friendly outgoing eclectic agnostic seeks one gram of soul Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:27:02 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Welcome to Hell http://20gramsoul.com/2007/07/13/welcome-to-hell/ http://20gramsoul.com/2007/07/13/welcome-to-hell/#comments Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:07:30 +0000 Richard http://20gramsoul.com/2007/07/13/welcome-to-hell/ I found a link today which reminded me of a Rowan Atkinson sketch. I know there are different ideas about when the “Sabbath” actually is. Christians seems to set Sunday as the “holy” day, whereas Jews mark the time between sunset on Friday and Sunset on Saturday instead. Of course, it all comes down to biblical interpretation.

While not particularly relevant to the rest of us (although, I discovered recently on my travels to Adelaide – one of Australia’s smaller major cities1 – shops still aren’t allowed to open on Sundays, and I’m sure we can blame the Christians for that) I thought “Remember the Sabbath” was quite interesting.

Oh, and then – of course – the Rowan Atkinson sketch I was reminded of… (This was linked recently from one of the Atheist blogs I read – I forget where, but if you think it might have been you, let me know and I’ll link to you)

Oh, and if you don’t see the association:

Christians? Christians? Yes, I’m sorry, I’m afraid the Jews were right.

  1. Small Major City – is that an oxymoron?
