    (circa 1300 BC- )
    Born in Mount Sinai, Egypt
    #4 of the Ten Commandments
    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it

Why Commandment 4: Keep the Sabbath! might be annoying:

    Since God blessed the seventh day as the sabbath, why do Christian's celebrate it on Sunday, the first day?
    Sunday was the sabbath by pagans worshiping the Sun.
    How does one stop his cattle from working?
    Pushing an elevator button on the sabbath is considered work, but walking up 10 flights of stairs, isn't.
    In America there were laws forbidding businesses to be open on Sunday.
    Roman Catholics count this as the 3rd commandment.

Why Commandment 4: Keep the Sabbath! might not be annoying:

    Wow, who would think there is a commandment to not work and shirk responsibility. Nice!
    Since we already get the weekends off, can we move the sabbath to the middle of the week?
    The Seventh Day Adventists are the only Christian group to follow Saturday as the sabbath.
    Some believe the entire day should be spent in praise of God and nothing else.
