[QUOTE="Judge Sharpe, post: 1170270, member: 13878"] Funny thing about the Blue Laws- They did not have a religious basis at least at first. It was a labor law. Industry often ran from before dawn to well after dark six day a week. Especially in the mining industries workers often went for months with out seeing the sun, except on Sunday when they would go to church, and then it was back to the mine. Social reform decided that there should be one day of rest, so the "Blue Laws dictated that one day a week industry and commerce would close down, Sunday was the logical day because most folks went to church anyway. did not make much sense to me to make the stores close, except the Jewish establishments who were closed on Saturday anyway for their Sabbath.
