I realize that this is a religious newspaper, so I'm in the minority here, but whatever...

I don't just shop on Sundays *like* it's any other day of the week, I shop on Sundays because I believe that it *is* just another day of the week. I also spend the rest of the week with my family and friends, I don't need to set aside a special day to do this.

It's an interesting thing about the laws, but it was my understanding that this country was founded on a separation of church and state. Not shopping on Sundays because it's against your beliefs is fine; that's your freedom. Forcing everyone to close on Sundays because of your beliefs goes against the foundation of this country.
