Oh, but most Christians already changed the sabbath. And to what? The Sun God's day! Just so they could pick off some of the worshippers of Mithra, Apollo, etc

We didn't change the sabbath, but the day of Christ's Resurrection (the first day of the week, Sunday) surpassed it.

But that's the real reason why this idea won't happen. Everyone who takes Sunday (or Saturday, or Friday), off for religious reasons won't suddenly say, "Okay, now I'll start taking Monday (or Sunday, or Saturday) off." Today right here is Thursday. I can say that 700,000 days ago was also a Thursday. I don't know what year or month it was, offhand, but I know what day of the week it was. Calendars come and go (I personally use two calendars in my daily life, a civil calendar and a religious calendar), but the day of the week is something that can be relied upon. This crazy idea would throw all that out the window.

So much software is already in place now to handle our calendar in all it's craziness, and if there's something more complicated (like accounting), they can use their own special calendar. I'm just surprised the "human calculator" can't figure out what day of the week the 4th of July falls on in 2008. I could probably figure it out in my head if I wanted to.
