Here is something for Christians, Moslems and, Jews to unite on. Have you ever thought about where the names of the days of the week come from? Four of the days are named after Viking gods, and three are named for astrology.
Saturday is named for Saturn
Sunday is named for the sun
Monday is named for the moon
Tuesday is named for the God of War
Wednesday is named for the God named Woden, or spelled Odin.
Thursday is named for Thor, the God of Thunder, who is sometimes considered as the Viking equivalent of Jupiter.
Friday is named for Frigg, the goddess wife of Woden (Odin).
Isn't it something that, not only are we destroying the earth that we live on by global warming and pollution, but it doesn't even get a day named for it, although the moon and Saturn do?
How is it that the Book of Genesis describes the seven day week being inaugurated by the one Holy God himself, but then the days end up being named for these pagan gods? This is unreal.
How about some more appropriate names for the days of the week?
Monday becomes Righteousday
Tuesday becomes Earthday
Wednesday becomes Peaceday
Thursday becomes Almsday
Friday becomes Lifeday
Saturday becomes Goodnessday
Sunday becomes Holyday
Wouldn't this be better than the present paganism?
