Is the governments recognition and use of a seven day week a violation of Separation of Church & State?

Question

The natural basis of a day is from sunset to sunset or sunrise to sunrise which ever you prefer.

The natural basis of a month is the time it takes the moon to go around the earth.

The natural basis for a year is the time it takes the earth to go around the sun.

The only basis for a 7 day week is that God created the earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th.

As not all religeons have the same creation model is not recognizing and using the 7 day week promoting some religeons over another and therefore a violation of church and state. Is not running our public school system on a seven day week teaching our children a creationist model.

Should the Gov't and Public schools switch to a 5 day week and eliminate Sat and Sunday after all they don't need a day of rest which is all creationist nonsense. They would go from Fri. to Mon. and have 73 weeks in the year 6 weeks to a month except for July which would have 7.

Or should we remain 1 nation under God with a 7 day week?

They are on a 5 day week and then they break for two days. No it is not based on Mathematics

A mathematic solution would have been to use a number divisible equally into 365,

Yes the Julian Claendar has 12 months, they adopted the seven day week from the Judeo Christian model

Big John I believe in God and a literal interpretation of Genisis, I also have an IQ of 132. I am merely toying with the brain washed evolutionist who blindly believe everything they read written in a text book written by someone who has no desire to present truth or fact but merely to sell a text book is fact.

Answer 1

let me see if i understand what you are saying, just so we can do away with the history of behind the seven day week you want to make each month have more days, make it so no one gets a day off from school or work instead they work every day of every week, until they take a vacation. hmmm interesting, how would we handle leap year? what would we do about all the people who began going insane from all work and no play? should the people who believe in that "creationist nonsense" not be able to worship because they may miss work. of course this would put my cousins husband out of a job because the cleaning business he owns primarily cleans wharehouses on the weekends when no one is around, because they are off. so him and his 100 employees would be out of jobs. not to mention that the business i work in would take a huge hit since saturdays are the busiest days in the car biz, mainly because everyone is off work. so just because you have an issue with people who believe in god you want to change the lives of every one in the country. hmm seems pretty self absorbed. And also why do so many people have an issue with the term in god we trust? muslim, allah translates to english God, yaweh in hebrew translates to english God, if you are an athiest, then to an extent you believe you are god. meaning you are the sole person in control of your destiny not in some megalomaniac kind of way. plus it is a piece of the history of our country. but of course we should throw that all out so that no one is offended.

on a side note it actually takes the earth 23 hours 56 minutes to turn once on its axis, and the earth takes 355 days 23 hours and some minutes to rotate the earth. these are the reasons for days and years. the moon takes more than 30 days to rotate the earth. it is a little closer to 40 days, this is why if you go back hundreds of years you will find 9 months to a year. then the world was got Octavius ceaser, and we got october, becase he felt a month shoudl be named after him, then julius ceaser and augustus ceaser named months after themselves and we got july and august. then the mathematicians got smart and organized the 12 month calender in a way that made sense and allowed for the lost time every day and year and came up with leap year.

Answer 2

Where did this creationist model come from? Government and public schools are already on a 5 day week, unless you don't live in the same US that I do. We are One Nation Under God because no one has changed that. There isn't any such a thing as a seven day week violation. The entire question is out of order.

Answer 3

The 7 day week and 12 month year is the Julian calender, as in Julius Caesar from the ancient Roman empire.

Did you notice that all of the months are named after Roman gods.

Did you forget that the Romans fed Christians to the lions for sport. This wonderful little remembrance alone is reason enough to keep the Julian calender.

Answer 4

The government cannot favor a religion. The 7 day week doesn't favor a religion. Moreover, the days of the weeks are named after pagan gods, which rather shoots your theory in the foot.

Answer 5

The days of a week is based in mathmatics. It's recognized all over the world. Not sure if Romans, Greeks, or Egyptians made the first calenders. Maybe Muslims or Chinese did.

Answer 6

the 24 hour day, the seven days a week, the preception of time has been around alot longer then the united states of america. we just said that looks like it works ok we'll use it.

Answer 7

Isn't it possible your reasoning is wrong?

For example, we have a seven day calendar now because of years (centuries) of using it. Granted, it was originally incepted based on religious beliefs, but you have to consider that that meaning is lost by now.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Especially for some altruistic reason.

Answer 8

THERE IS NO "SEPERATION OF CHURCH & STATE IN THE CONSTITUTION". Therefore, it can't be violated. The Bible bans murder. Are laws against murder unconstitutional?
