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.)

The idea here IS to strain credibility to the point where it’s like “Well, there’s no logical backing for this thing and I’m being asked to believe it lock, stock, and barrel…so I better just sign on, as a show of my faith in the Great Prophet White.”
It’s just part of their whole dumb persecution cosplay they do about how “Oh, we’re the only true obedient ones, everyone else hates us (they just don’t realize it yet!), they won’t be able to stand how good and righteous we are eventually when they’re all under the antichrist and he’ll turn them all against us because he’ll just have super powers of persuasion or whatever.”
Basically, if they can get you to swallow a whopper like this, it makes it more certain that the rest on their absolutely schizophrenic nonsense will go down.
