Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath." God gave us the Sabbath as a gift, for refreshment of body and mind and spirit. Whether you believe in God or not, give yourself one day in seven to breathe and recharge your batteries.
I, I , I, me, me, me, I, I, I. Hey lady, you got a roof over your head, clothes on your back, 3 squares a day? And you're still not...fulfilled? Be GRATEFUL bitch!
I can relate to what she is saying. We go to church on Sundays, I teach a class when I am not in choir, but it seems so difficult to not treat Sunday as another Saturday after that, with chores and projects. Why is it so hard to just take a break one day a week? If I work longer during the week and on Saturday, would I be able to rest better on Sundays, or is it an attitude problem? I suspect the latter.
This is something I've thought about a lot lately. Sunday as a day of rest doesn't have to mean doing nothing, but doing other things. Doing the things that get neglected on the other six days. Things like visiting with friends and family, enjoying nature and refraining from commerce help us focus our thoughts. Even a nap is a great refresher, if you can get to sleep that night after a nap, even better.
Is the Chronicles of Higher Ed so politically correct that they can't print the word "god"? It was always spelled g-d.
Of course, politically correct is to spell out the entire word, and then in lower case, like a good little obnoxious atheist. (You, like Bill Maher, must have a backasswards idea of what "politically correct" means.)
The hugely politically incorrect way is, because of the holiness of the Name, is to be so respectful as to not say it out loud or spell it in its entirety. Hence, the use of the word "Lord" in its stead or the use of G-d or YHWH, as has been traditionally done for centuries.
Sometimes I think about looking into observing a traditional Shabbat. A Jewish pundit once observed it was a special bubble in time that can be accomplished anywhere.

She seems to have Sabbath (Saturday) and the Lord's Day (Sunday) confused with each other.

As I age, a day of rest and contemplation on Sunday gets more and more attractive.
Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath." God gave us the Sabbath as a gift, for refreshment of body and mind and spirit. Whether you believe in God or not, give yourself one day in seven to breathe and recharge your batteries.

As the trendies are faced with hard times, I think we'll see more of this.
Job never had to go to Sunday school.
There is a tradition of referring to the Lord's Day as the 'Christian Sabbath'.

Doesn't matter how you spell it. The important thing is to pronounce it "Gow-wud."
Your "faith’s expectation,...just hasn’t been cutting it for me" either.
What's "missing" is some semblance of a real life - you know, like your own (unfiltered) identity.
But never mind:
Any vision of what an atheist would call "normal" is sure to hit you like I'm throwing rotten vegetables,...
