Exodus 35:2

Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy sabbath of solemn rest to the Lord; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death;

In this verse, Moses, is speaking to to a congregation of Israelites. He tells them that this is what the Lord has commanded them to do. Like my first quote from the Bible I will break the verse into smaller pieces. [I should probably just do this with every verse].

"Six days shall work be done,..."
This part is pretty self explanatory; the six days God was speaking to Moses about were Monday through Saturday. It has a direct correlation to the six days that God used to create heaven and Earth in the first chapter of Genesis.

"...but on the seventh day you shall have a holy sabbath of solemn rest to the Lord;..."
The seventh day God is talking about here is Sunday; once again, a direct correlation to the seventh day that God rested, after creating heaven and Earth. A holy sabbath would be a (in this case) weekly day of rest and worship to God.

"...whoever does any work on it shall be put to death;"
This is the violent part of this verse, the part you would never hear in any Bible study class or in any preachers sermon. The word of God stating that a man must be put to death if he works on a Sunday is absurd; this one verse alone should show people that the Judeo-Christian God that you grew up learning about is a horrible deity.

Know one in their right mind would put a man to death for such an act. This goes to show how selfish and evil God is, how is he all loving if he is willing to murder a man for working. A man that could be working to help support his family, I myself have worked many Sundays, and I'll be damned if someone feels the need to kill me for it because their "God" said so.

In closing, let me ask you a question. If you are a believer, and you claim to follow and worship this Lord; would you be able to murder a man for working on a Sunday?

This is only one of the many, many examples of how evil, cruel, and corrupt God is.
