If someone makes it a crime to eat toast on Sundays, how will they enforce that?

That is a very good question, and I will try to answer it as best I can.\n\nToast sniffing devices will be installed into all toasters, toaster ovens, ovens, grills, burners, or any object which can toast above-mentioned toast in any degree whatsoever.  This same device will trigger an alarm which alerts all the neighbors that there is toast being toasted in the neighborhood and the authorities will be notified.  The perpetrator will be apprehended and thrown into Guantanamo Bay, tortured, and made to realease to them the names of other "toasters" who commit this horrible crime on Sundays.  They will then be released from prison and put up on the internet in a searchable database of toast offenders so that everyone in the neighborhood will know not to associate with them, and to hide all their children.

It differs from state to state. But you will probably be fined and the establishment may be fined also, have their liquor license revoked, or be shut down.

Only under one of the following two conditions:  If you drink to get drunk, or if you don't offer me one!\n\nSeriously, Paul taught us that all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable (spiritually speaking).  For example, when my children were younger, I stopped drinking all beer and wine, even though they are cultural drinks I grew up with.  Now that they are adults, I occasionally enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, but not for the purpose of anebriation(sp?).\n\nCheck your motives, then let the Holy Spirit lead you.

Unless it's a criminal offence. Most definetly not!

I am originally an Anglican (Church of England/Episcopalian), although since I moved to the States I now consider myself Christian/Non-Denominational. \n \nTechnically, the Episcopal church would probably tell you that NO, it does not fulfill your Sunday obligation; however, just about every Episcopalian service offers communion, no matter which day it falls on. If you feel that strongly convicted, talk to the Priest/Rector and ask him/her.\n\nGood luck!

Yes. The Sunday Law will be enforced and a great tribulation will fall upon the Earth. In fact, did you know that it is illegal to sell cars on Sundays in Illinois!!!! Here's another fact: It's illegal to sell cornflakes in Columbus, Ohio. Pretty weird. But, the prophecies in Revelations (specifically Revelation 13) will happen. \n\nFeel free to contact me at any time if you have more questions. Yes, I am a Seventh-Day Adventist, too.

mormons and jehovah's witnesses do it all the time. Occasionally others do it as well, but only as a last resort. generally its because the person has done somethingthat goes against the church's rules.

It is acceptable to violate a law. Speeding to get someone to the hospital. Jaywalking to save someone. Countless others.\n\nI grew up in Boston. Strong Iriish Catholic but no prayer in public schools. My children are now in grade school in TN (Bible belt). They pray in public school. Could not draw Jack-O-Lanterns for halloween because it was satanic. Way over the top for me.

Wow, and do they also say you can't eat meat on Friday's...\nNo, I don't think anyone can tell you what you can bring to work for you lunch/supper it's controlling and inappropriate. Shame on them.\n\nI'm sure if you contacted a Human Rights Office in you area they'll be able to help you further.

It depends on the offense.  If the defendant only violated the protective order, then the days sound like it is in the range for sentencing.  If the defendant committed another offense and he/she would be subject to the penalties of the new offense.  The sentence is based on the underlying charge.\n\nThe conviction will limit the defendant in many ways including losing the right to own firearms and other weapons.

probably not. just punish your son for buying alcohol.\n\nlawsuits are more troublesome than what you expect.

That's what would happen in your Amusmant park that you never let people out of.  Let me guess, there would be a toast food shop.

If the apartment by-laws or policy prohibits drinking alcoholic beverages, yes.  The same would apply to felony background checks which are becoming common today that say, turn up a sex offender.  This problem can be resolved through litigation if it is truly discrimination.

If it wasn't against the law, then it was, as some one has already hinted, part of a very British and  civilised tradition/convention that one did not set them off on a Sunday.\nBut now (as I type this it's like a battlefield outside) the yobs (let's call them 'thoughtless people' so as not to offend the PC brigade), buy  fireworks well before the 5th and thus, for a period of around 3 weeks, we are assailed  every night with loud bangs and earsplitting whistles.   \nIt's time there was a ban on selling fireworks to the public and only officially sanctioned displays allowed  - preferably as far from houses as possible.\nI feel very sorry for those who are ill, or recovering from a hospital stay (I know at least one heart patient local to me - what he must be going through I can't imagine), and, of course, for domestic pets.  \nI suppose some on here will call me a miserable old curmudgeon, but when I was a child we'd jealously guard our fireworks until the 5th, the  excitement building as the big day approached. But now yobs (sorry 'thoughtless persons') think it  amusing to set off what sound like  bloody great mortar bombs at 2 AM (which occurred near where I live on Friday/Saturday).  If they want to hear such big explosions maybe they should join the army.\n\nAnd to think we've got New Year to look forward to, as well....   :- (

Blasphemy is not a crime.  It is some silliness made up by the humans who wrote the various versions of the bible.  It serves the purpose of controlling people via guilt and fear.
