Yes, I recall the Blue laws and they were something passed by local societies/states by a people who were largely Christian. Christians, however, were the majority in America for 200 years with plenty of opportunity to make America a theocracy. Why didn't they? Christians, for 200 years in America, basically ignored the government and structured their individual communities to suit themselves. That was freedom, the greatest nation ever to exist was a nation that was made up primarily by Christians. "Live and let live." was our motto. If someone sinned, we considered it his business and knew that he was headed for hell. We would try to get him to see the error of his ways and repent, but no other pressure was exerted, no laws passed to force him to repentence. We only began to get involved in politics when the liberal atheists started passing laws to force our way of life out of existence. No Prayer, No Ten Commandments, no religious expression of any kind in public, murder of babies, forced acceptance of sinful lifestyles, said lifestyle taught in our schools. Are we supposed to let them chip away at our religion and remain silent? Personally, I do not even recognize America any more.
"If someone sinned, we considered it his business..."
Your point backed up my post. Blue laws were enacted by Christians to force others to do it/see it their way. If things should be banned or closed on Sunday so people could worship, then why not close/ban things from Friday - Sunday?
As I said, I would have a problem with "Religion", any religion, "Running" things. I have no problem with government grounded in a Jewish/Christian background.
I have no use for Sharia.
When I was younger I didn't believe it was possible that the things in the book of Revelations could come to pass in my lifetime. Now I look around me and I don't believe they will not come to pass in my lifetime.
