Apparently Poland is thinking of making it illegal to shop on Sundays. At first, some Christians might be happy that this is happening. After all, up until the 50's many shops in America closed on Sundays and I'm sure in some parts of the USA it's still not uncommon to see shops closed. I have nothing against it if the store does it for their own choice. I have a huge problem against it if the state forces a store to close on Sunday.
If you are in favor of a state making it a law for everyone to do something that you agree with, than you lose the right to complain about a state making it a law to force everyone to do something you disagree with. If Muslim countries want to force all shops to close when it's time to pray (even non Islamic shops) than you can't really say anything. If Israel wants to close shops on Friday night, same thing. If LDS states demand that no restaurant sells alcohol-than you can say nothing. And oh yes, if atheists demand that you open on Sundays and serve booze at your restaurant even if you are a devout Christian, than you can once again say nothing.
I'm as uncomfortable with this as I am with the state forcing a baker to bake a cake for a wedding that they don't approve of.
