Football fanatics don't see missing a game as a choice either.
- ARandomerDude 5y agoThere's a massive difference between I like football a lot and I am accountable to God to keep the 4th Commandment. Ezekiel 22:8,31 ESV "You have despised my holy things and profaned my Sabbaths... [31] Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their heads, declares the Lord GOD." Ultimately freedom of religion prevents the situation in which a person is forced to come to the conclusion that a lower authority (government) is attempting to usurp the highest authority (God). At that point, any religious person has three bad alternatives: 1. Disobey God. 2. Suffer persecution from the government. 3. Rebel against the government.
