Answer 1

I'd like to know where you stand as far as belief
The days of the week are Pagan
Sunday was the worship of the sun
all the other day's also had there meanings, though I couldn't tell you what, You said " Do you name them after other gods?"
what makes you think A christian had any say so?
I Mean how much liberty does a christian have today

Answer 2

for one thing Moho............
the Greeks are the ones that named the weeks and created the calender,we Christians didn't have a input on it
The week of seven days was adopted in Rome somewhere about 400 AD, and spread into Europe, but had been recognized as a period of time long before that in the east. It was probably chosen to give one day each to each of the seven planets known in antiquity. In the southern countries of Europe, the days of the week were named after the gods of the Greeks and Romans. In the English language, as well as in the languages of some of the countries of northern Europe, the gods of the north have given their names to the days.

Answer 3

mister mojo risin good song by the way but anyway the modern calender is not truly a christian calender the hebrew calender is what jesus would have had for a calender and is still used today by some with is 13 months so to say christians are following other gods more like descieved christians to follow the roman ways and not that of gods but only the educated can reveal the truth hidden inside the enigma that this is

Answer 4

Personally, I've never met anyone who worshipped a particular day of the week, and I didn't name the days, so don't really care on way or another what they're named after. This repetitive posting of the same question is getting tiring. Why don't you go play in another area of YA, give everyone here a break.

Answer 5

Since I mostly speak English, I use Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Christians use these names because it is part of the English language. See, MOST people don't really think of where the names of the days came from when they say them...

Answer 6

Dude, this is the same question you've now asked three times, in three different ways. The answer is the same. Nobody cares!

The word Monday, in its modern use, carries no more meaning than "the second day of the weak." Get over it already!

Answer 7

Hi,

Actually, I never even thought about the days of the week being named for other gods. If they are, then if no one is worshiping them, that theory is useless. Something can only be considered a god if you worship it.......Do you know someone who is worshiping or bowing down to the days of the week?

Answer 8

Well, obviously, we've had to adapt to the society we live in...so even if I called the days of the week something else, no one would know what I was talking about....it's useless....I am sure God understands that somethings like that, we just don't have control over.

Answer 9

I think you are confused . There is only one God . The days has nothing to do with other gods . Exodus 20:3

Answer 10

i'm a pagan, and very aware of where our current names for the days of the week originated. trying to enlighten people on pagan influences in the day to day existence of the modern world is noble. assuming that people who don't care where the names came from, are giving recognition to other gods is a little silly. let them have their religion, and let them have it in peace. all religions have added something in our naming of things and in our celebrations.
