I know nothing he said suggested the slippery slope, you did...and still are.

MY point is that in cases in which you have non-religious reasons to keep a law, that's what you use.  Any religious reasons are moot.  We can GET RID of them.  

There is no non-religious reason for businesses to be closed on Sundays.  There's no reason for any business to be closed on any particular day of the week.  They are private entities and are free to be open or closed on any day(s) they wish.

Each state needs to have a spring cleaning of it's antiquated, bullshit laws that never got around to being dissolved.
No, let's let the establishment clause get in the way of common sense.  

I'm not well-educated in law, of course, nor do I wish to be.  I have enough bullshit in my world already.

Nothing he said indicated that getting rid of blue laws would or would not be a slippery slope to throwing all laws out the window.  He listed some non-Christian religious justifications for laws against Murder.  I never specified "Christian", I merely said "religious" and the fact that nearly all religions prohibit murder only buttresses my point.  There clearly is "some religious basis" for laws against Murder and that is true for nearly all religions.  There clearly are also non-religious justifications for laws against Murder.  Again, that WAS my point.  Laws against Murder have BOTH religious and non-religious justifications.  Kinda like blue laws.  They obviously were adopted at least mostly for religious reasons but there ARE plausible non-religious justifications for them. 

It would be less irksome to have to explain this to you if you weren't such a belligerent A-hole when you don't understand things. 




To get Bibical, there is a scriptural admonition "to not cast your pearls before swine" or to go secular, "Never wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it."

I'm a pig because I don't believe in god and think blue laws are garbage and should be dissolved.

Yup.  My guess is there was also a backroom deal not to sue the city in that.

It'll come out eventually.

The officer hit him with his flashlight, grabbed his arm, yanked him out of the car and then slammed him up against it. All with no pants, apparently.

I saw Def Leppard open for Ted Nugent and for the Scorpions. Romantics for UFO. Motley Crue for Ozzy. Van Halen for Black Sabbath. 

That Crue/Ozzy show was amazing.
