Here are the Old Testament rules that apply to the Sabbath, its pretty tough to obey and involves much more than not shopping on Sunday (or actually Saturday).

Again, off topic for this forumn and this thread.
I get it... Only Mormons in good standing can talk about religious issues on the Utah open carry forum. I will go stand in the corner now and keep my mouth shut like a good ex-Mormon.
Actually, nobody should be talking much about religion on this forumn. And anyone who claims to be mature enough to carry around a deadly weapon in public should immediately understand the difference between what you are doing and an example of the difficulty of finding stores to patronize in lieu of stores that have some policy we don't like for whatever reason. If you honestly cannot see and understand the difference in your post about religion and my post obliquely referencing widespread religious beliefs as an example of or corollary to the subject at hand, then yes, with all due respect, you should avoid the subject altogether. But like too many "ex" anythings, you seem to have a hard time not talking about whatever it is you chose to leave.
Look, I don't mean to be rude or demanding. But I'm getting sick and tired of the number of persons who seem to think that the LDS Church, its members, and its beliefs are the last topics open to every form of criticism and attack. I read it daily in the user comments of the daily media. I don't need to tolerate it, in any form, here. I come here to discuss RKBA.
If I want to get into it over religious beliefs, I'll go find a forumn for that. Ditto if i want to engage in the long since tiresome shouting matches over the politics of homosexuality. Or whether Obama is a natural born citizen or not. Or UFOs or immigration.
So I'm going to be pretty quick and blunt about calling out such off topic, needlessly and uselessly divisive topics when I see them here. I used to just try to ignore such things. But it has become obvious that ignoring those who can't stay on topic, or even who insist on getting in their little jabs where they can, just leads to even more little jabs.
I was not harsh with you in my first response and simply asked you not to nit pick religious differences. In response to that polite, civil request, you over-react as if you've been sent to your room. Do you really not see the disproportionality in that?
Great. YOU have a different view of Sabbath observance than do I. Did that difference prevent you, for so much as one moment, from
fully and completely understanding the analogy I was drawing? If it did, you should have simply asked for clarification. If not, then your post did NOTHING to further the discussion on the topic at hand and served merely to highlight where we have differences of opinion. And how exactly does that benefit us in the least when those opinions have nothing to do with RKBA?
Think man think. What is your reason for posting?
