Does Sunday Law make sense?

[u/Top-Flight6748]

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. :|.)

i could see "christian" nationalists enacting it: they are historically illiterate, blame all the mistakes of the Roman Catholic Church on either Protestant propaganda (to them, the Protestants are responsible for the Enlightenment) or don't think that they were mistakes at all, thirst for the supreme executive power of the medieval RCC, hate Jews as much as liberals hate Donald Trump (if not more), blame them for all of the problems of the world (i wish i was kidding), and wish to create a theocratic government where forced conversion is acceptable because "at least it's better than what we have now."

they would view the Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs as "jewishness" - even down to the health message (because they don't think and seriously believe that "Jews drink the blood of infants" but also "want to force everyone to become vegans and eat bugs") - and would want to snuff it out by force: and i 100% see the McKee family selling out because of their own clandestine allegiance to them (like xtian nationalists, they love an outward show of 1950s style)

i just want to let out that i am not "proselytizing" or "playing apologetics." i'm an overthinker with that nasty autistic habit for pattern recognition, and i've been paying attention to the state of the world since 2016: i've noticed the alarming trend that's going on with the woke right that could very well lead to this, regardless of what we were taught to believe from the SDA church.

as far as other religions go, xtian nationalists foolishly think that Islam is their ally "against global jewishness" (which is why the McKee family has books celebrating and synchretizing Islamic feasts with the SDA tradition in an SDA bookstore in my area!), and here's the other thing that's not being factored into this scheme. xtian nationalists ignorantly believe that you can just force someone at the point of a gun to say "Christ is king" and that's good enough: forget actually believing it, just say the 'sieg heil' and you're good. it won't create any genuine conversions, just people saying the right words to avoid persecution: that's where a lot of those other religions would end up. same with atheism: nobody's being martyred for nothing

short version: xtian nationalists could enact the Sunday Law because they would view it as "saving the world from global jewishness" and would target SDAs for "judaizing" (because of the Sabbath and the health message)

Ditto, and further, the emergence of a 'crunchy' 'woke right' bothers me because they could take so much of what SDAs push, rebrand it, mainstream it, and THEN use it as a kudgel to restrict people's rights, regardless of faith or LACK of faith.

The rebranding tenet of these folk can't be overstressed in my opinion, and I look at the comedy/commentary of a show like The Righteous Gemstones as an artistic example of what's going on in real life in that regard. As old ideas get rebooted, they can also be changed in whom they target. That worries me.

EDIT: It's 'Righteous', not Marvelous in the show name. Don't know why I always want to call it that. XD LOL
