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?

"God and his prophets have warned us for thousands of years to keep the sabbath day holy."

What about when, on a Sunday, fires start? When people are taken grievously ill or are in an accident? If people in a boat go overboard? What about law enforcement? Infiltrating a terrorist cell and/or intercepting their communications? Defending your country?

Are you suggesting that on a Sunday, the Fire Brigade, Paramedics & Hospital staff, Coast Guard, Police, CIA/NSA/Mossad/MI6/GCHQ et al, and Armed Forces should stop work immediately one second after 12 midnight on Saturday? Because if all those people in all those vital services were as Fundie (or were forced to be, as per your ilk's ultimate wish) followed your rules, you'd be fucked.

Just be glad there's Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists, or at least people whose religious belief isn't as extreme as yours, doing all those important jobs. Because otherwise, your country would be utterly fucked the first Sunday that came.

So a Superbowl is on a Sunday. Big freaking deal. Take it up with the NFL. And whichever TV station has the rights. And the American Football-loving population of the US as a whole. I'm sure they'll see things your way.

BTW, nice one Steelers, for winning a 6th Vince Lombardi Trophy. I was up till 3.15 AM watching it on BBC1, but it was worth the loss of sleep!

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

O RLY? Ever asked a Jedi? (it's an officially & legally recognised religion here in the UK after the last Census). Even $cientologists would suggest otherwise. Contradicted, much?

No, no it is not.

To keep the sabbath holy, you need to have wild, crazy monkey sex.

Yes watching the Superbowl on sunday is keeping the sabbath holy. The sabbath is on a saturday, and meant for the jewish peoples, not the gentiles.

Only Islam, Judaism and Christianism have a holy day. Revise your data, dear.
