as we wait on them in restaurants, care for them in hospitals, run gas stations so they can top off their tanks and maybe buy some Slim Jims to tide the kids over until they get to the restaurant for a Sunday dinner they don't have to cook or clean up after.

Besides, none of those people goes to OUR church, so it can't be as important to them, yanno?

That's the explanation for Jesus Jumper lack of respect for anyone else's right to a day of rest.

I've been rereading a mystery series I enjoyed some years ago. On characte, who is almost as hostile to religion as I am, says he thinks organized religion is the Fifth Horseman. Yeah, I certainly agree with that one.
