Sunday doesn't count as "the Lord's Day" because some Christians are happy to work on Sundays.Well, then, how about you can't say stealing is unacceptable behaviour for humans, because there are rather a few people out there who are happy to steal things from others?
Oh, right. Not quite the same.
Fine. How about noting that some Muslims are happy to work on Fridays, but Friday is still understood as being special for observant Muslims? Or noting that the same applies to observant Jews and Saturdays?
And let's ignore the fact that "Christians" is a rather broad term with regard to the requirements of religious observance...
It might be worth pointing out, however, that when Sunday trading was being introduced, we were assured - nay, promised - that no-one who didn't want to work on Sunday would be forced to do so.
Small wonder that Government "promises" and "assurances" are actually considered to be worth somewhat less than the paper upon which they are written...
I'm with Annie Elizabeth on this one.
