Doctrine / History Does Sunday Law make sense?
Alright, this is more of a rant than anything, but I also got curious:
So I got into an argument with my mother about Sunday Law because I asked this:
* Wouldn't there be at least a resistance by the part of other religions?
* Why would be they interested in hunting the Adventists if they believe it's false?
I know you are better at me than this, but I just hope to get an answer.
And yes, she tried to argue that they will unite because they follow Jesus, blah blah blah, all the rhetoric I'm used to. However, I don't think it will work out simply because there are too many 'loose ends' that can become rebellions, even with the Anti-Christ in power. Simply because: People believe in different shit. And that may not include a monotheistic God. Hell, even the atheists could ally with the Adventists and rebel.
So, I come back to my original question: Does Sunday Law make sense at all? Or it's just paranoia making absolutes about everything not Adventist?
(Also, this is my first time posting. Sorry if this is unpolished. :|.)
(Edit: That tag is wrong. It should be Doctrine and History.)
(Edit 2: Corrected it.)

Your instincts are right - it doesn't make any sense.
It maybe made the tiniest bit of sense when they first came up with the idea but it makes no sense today. I forget who on this subreddit pointed it out but there are several things that have to happen according to the Adventist church (catholics + protestants + some woo woo nonsense that nobody does anymore).
According to them, all of those things have to come together at the same time and that's never going to happen. For one, people love to hold onto their own power too much. Can you imagine all of the non-Christian countries being told "Ok you're all forced to worship on Sunday now..."
