Is watching the super bowl keeping the sabbath day holy?
God and his prophets have warned us for thousands of years to keep the sabbath day holy. All religions even believe in keeping one day a week holy, the day is usually debateable. But my question is, when these players play and scream and go nuts and all other things related to super bowl sunday, is it breaking the Commandment that our god gave us a long time ago?

If you do think it is breaking the sabbath day, then what would you see as breaking our Lord's day?

That's your opinion but don't get butt hurt when people tell you to fuck off or that they don't give a crap.

"All religions even believe in keeping one day a week holy"

LOLWUT? Abrahamic bias much?
Besides, isn't the whole Ten Commandments thing moot, due to , I dunno, JESUS.

All religions, eh? So you know them all that intimately? Do you even know how many there are?

Must've been a lot of hard work rising from the dead on Sunday, too....

While we're at it, what about all of the preachers who preach of fire and brimstone on your holy day? How do you explain that one?

It's more like idolatry if you want to get picky about the ten commandments.

Christians tend to hold religious services on Sunday because that's the day that, according to their traditions and their Bible, Jesus rose from the dead. Of course, this same Bible says that Jesus rose from the dead on the day after the Sabbath (because it was a day of rest, and he was rather comfortably resting at the time). So yeah, dude hasn't even read his own holy books.

Then don't watch games, moron.

That said, I'd love to see Tim Tebow (with his "John 3:16" patches) or Kurt Warner respond to this!

Twice round the super bowl and pointed at both ends. Every day of the week if you have enough roughage in your diet.

"All religions even believe in keeping one day a week holy.."

Wicca? No.
Confucianism? No.
Buddhism? No.
Taoism? No.
Hinduism? No.
Shinto? No.

In other words, you're refering only to the Abrahamic religions, dumbass. There are other ones out there that are vastly different.

Yes, they're working and therefore breaking the Sabbath. Go whine to the NFL.

Actually, Allegory for Jesus, the frequent, scheduled interruption of everyday life with pointless ritual (even the mental effort expended in arranging your life around the schedule) is a common mechanism in many cults and religions, the simple object of which, as Victor Hugo well put it, is to constantly break the chain of thought and lead it back to god. It may not always be a particular holy day, it may be any action or event, either everyday necessities or pointless, prescribed tasks, not inherently connected to the religion in any way, that can be associated with it by pavlovian induction or other mental reinforcement, typically involving repetitive action or other methods to induce abnormally receptive states in the brain, such as intense emotional or sensory deprivation or overload (any religious order tending towards isolationism or austerity does this to some degree, monasteries for example)
