If they were made to honor the Lord (or whatever higher being you believe in. Or whatever magical spark started this whole pile of mess)

Than why did they make them right before Monday? And why did they put so many sports on tv? And why did they make beer?

The reason for the change to Sunday as the Christain holy day is both due to Jewish and Pagan influence.

I can't recall all of the exact details, but the Jews already had Saturday sewn up as the sabbath.......and the early Christians chose to differentiate from the Jews in this regard.

Also............the pagan masses that the Christians targeted for conversion already held "Sun"day as a holy day for worship to the sun god du jour.

Unfortunately, "SUN"day comes from the Norse, I believe.

A change to the day of worship happened long before there was a nordic influence on the early Christian church.

There was a recent thread on this. Judeo-Christian religions consider Saturday as the Sabbath. It honors the seventh day of Creation, during which G-D rested. Christian religions also honor Sunday as "the Lord's day" in honor of Jesus...
