A couple of days ago I received a book in the mail that I didn’t order. This book was sent to me free and there was nothing that identified the sender, so immediately I figure it’s from some weirdo religious group. I was right.

The book is called National Sunday Law and is another attempt by the 7th Day Adventists to convince me that if I don’t refrain from work and worship on Saturday (the true sabbath?) then I’m breaking one of the 10 Commandments, living in sin, and will most certainly advance the agenda of Satan. Actually, calling this a book is a stretch in itself as it was printed in size 14 font and was barely 75 pages long at that. Riddled with ignorance of the scriptures and a hatred of the Pope, (who the author claims is the anti-Christ) this book makes a lame attempt at scaring Christians such as myself to lay down my anti-christ loving ways and become a legalistic 7th Day Adventist. For the non-Christian I can only imagine it’s main goal is convincing them that all of Christendom is made up of a bunch of conspiracy theory kooks - and for that it does a swell job.

Another thought…
What is the deal with all of these different denominations and their stupid names? If church is supposed to be the representation of Christ, what is the deal with naming your fellowship after someone other than Jesus or one particular Christian practice?
For example:
Baptist - Because they care so much about the practice itself they have to name themselves that? Come on.
Lutheran - Martin Luther did some phenomenal things but Jesus is the foundation of your belief, not him. Or is he?
7th Day Adventist - Sabbath is on Saturday. Sabbath is on Saturday. All others are in sin. Join us for worship at 9 & 11am.
