>>but this is a pretty petty issue<<

You may see it as such, but I think altering the worship schedule to accommodate the comfort of men is not such a petty thing, and can be quite the slippery slope.

This isn't as much of a Saturday/Sunday worship issue, as it is an issue of making excuses to justify laziness and the whole seeker-sensitivity movement. The "worship God in your own way" line of thinking, instead of worshipping God in HIS way.

Look at the motive behind the excuses. It's all for the convenience of men - and once a church starts compromising for such a reason, it sets a bad precedent for the future.

>>Don't be upset when your flavor of Christianity comes under fire.<<

lol...Reformers have been under fire since the days of Martin Luther. This isn't a popularity contest.

For non-Catholics who believe that they have a direct pipeline to God and don't have to go through the church to get to Him, attending church just for the sake of attending is legalism and ritualistic.

For example, if a person wakes up on Sunday and feels like he needs some alone time with God, there is nothing wrong with staying home, praying and reading the bible.

To Catholics I can see where this can seem like a foreign concept, but yet they get upset when protestants feel that they've put Mary (just a person) on a undeserved pedestal.

You're right.

I suppose those damned Christians of the first couple of centuries deserved persecution for meeting in fields, mountain caves, catacombs and the like. After all, they were so "accommodating."

May they burn in hell.
