Sunday is the day for worship for most Christian denominations. It is the holy Sabbath day for worship and rest for most Christians. However, there are some things that aren’t holy about Sundays from a Christian point of view-
1) Sunday is the most popular day for watching porn; This was found out by research on porn done by Online MBA. This is an ironic but not so surprising fact because it reflects the truth of the popular saying that “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop”- a lot of people do not work on Sundays and therefore, will have more idle time then, than compared to other days.
2) The word “Sunday” has pagan origins; Sunday as a word has its origin in Egyptian astrology, in which days were named after planets. It was then imported from Egypt to Rome. However, to be fair, Sunday worship in itself is a very Christian thing- the other major religions worship mostly on Fridays and Saturdays
3) Sports is now competing with worship on Sundays; The modern scheduling of sporting fixtures on Sundays, especially football, has left many Christians in a dilemma go to church or prepare for “Super Sports Sunday”. There are three popular instances that prove that sports is interfering with Sunday worship-
-People wearing jerseys to church and then rushing to watch their team play- even priests
-People giving thanksgivings for their football team winning trophies or cups
-Pastors either making football prophecies (predictions) or praying for their team to win
4) Sunday is the worst day to have an emergency; In Nigeria, many services are shutdown on Sunday afternoons. While the roads might be freer on a Sunday, you will find that
-many ATMs are out of service and so, many queues will be around the ones that work
-there are very few places to buy airtime credit
-there are less policemen and road officials on the road in case of any emergency
-many mechanic workshops are closed
-after 8pm, you will rarely see an open restaurant to buy food from
5) Some other countries actually work full-time on Sundays; For those Christians travelling to Israel, Iran, Bahrain and Bangladesh, your work week starts includes Sunday. This is mostly as a result of Judaism and Islam having differing worshiping times from Christianity.
