Religion is divisive
The EDITOR, Sir:

I was fascinated by the explanations given by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church regarding watching sports on Saturday. I recall one person saying something to the effect that the Bible says he must stay away from personal pleasure.

Now I gather that there are persons who celebrate their Sabbath or day of rest on Sunday so have they overlooked or chose not to obey that chapter and verse, or is it just a matter of interpre-tation that creates the difference? Religion is one of the most divisive things facing mankind.

I am, etc.,

John Christian
