Good for you. At least 7th DA try to go to church on the right day (and only missing it by, on average, 12 hours) and it's always fun to engage most of of the rest of the Christers on their not observing the Sabbath as directed by the Lord God Almighty, who even put in a Commandment on the topic, just to be clear.
Their 'deer in the headlights' stare when I point out 'Seventh Day' means precisely that, (without bothering to go into the even more Christer confusing sunset/midnight discrepancy, which generally makes their heads explode) the last day of the week, in other words, and is therefore THE day they should be keeping holy and not picking up sticks on, etc. so as to honor the Sabbath and keep the God dude placated until some other trivial particle of outrage clouds his judgment and he goes off on another tirade/rant/pogrom/hissy fit.
Let's hear it for the Seventh Day Adventists, at least they're trying a squosh harder than the rest of the slacker Christians.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
