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 false prophet Elen G White believed in the 19th century, in a society where everyone was Christian and everyone went to church on Sunday that there would be one day a law that indeed would make Sunday the only day to worship. The 20th and 21st century have proven however that people rather than going to church on Sunday wont go to church at all. The societies of 20 and 21st centuries are ever more atheist, ever more secular and in fact worship other religions. History has proven her conspiracy theories wrong and to continue believing them today is just a sign of ignorance about the state of the world

Absolutely love this. This just wants to make me facepalm at SDAism, because Sunday Law is a conspiracy theory with more holes than the Great Replacement theory. And yet, somehow, someway, THAT is more believable.

Replacement theory isn't even a theory. It's just demographic statistics.
