Would you prefer compulsory Sunday observance? Or conversely, why isn't every day a 'special' day for communion with your diety. The Catholics have mass every day, but for most protestants there is only Sunday service(some may have a mid-week 'prayer' service or informal 'breakfasts' but nothing formalized). -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu [Nowhere has Dave suggested compulsory observance, and if he were to, I seriously doubt it would be on Sunday... His position has been that Christians should celebrate the Sabbath, which is Saturday (or Friday night/Saturday, depending upon how literal you want to get). --clh]
