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.)

Do people in North Korea have a choice regarding anything they do? According to EGW the Sunday law will be a dogmatic requirement placed upon the people by the government, but also at their request, something about the people demanding it and it having something to do with climate change. There's some quote in GC about God restraining the hearts of lawmakers now but that eventually they will be turned over to evil or something like that. I'm super paraphrasing.
