The Catholic church is quite upfront about its standing on this issue - it claims that the church or pope has the God given authority to make or change the rules, and it does not say that the Sabbath of the Bible is Sunday.
So what is a Sabbath then (I've always been completely nonreligious so I'm not familiar with any of this, to me it seems kind of arbitrary). Wouldn't you want to keep every day holy if it makes a difference? I personally think it's pretty obvious that days of the week are set by humans to be a convenient cycle, and I've never considered them special or observed any difference between them that hasn't been invented by humans.
Thank you all, for your welcoming, I don't intend to continue responding on this thread, as it is just an introduction.
I am not here to discuss SDA's, because it's not that difficult to read the entire KJV Bible, but I just mentioned my background, in case anyone needed to know what influences my comments. Of course, if you want to start a thread specifically on SDA's, I'll comment if I see any gaps.
I am interested in some of the difficult areas of atheist thinking, and what causes people to remain true to certain ideas, and in communicating with others I hope to understand where they are coming from, to identify with them.
