Yes, Church is an institution that has had a great deal of input from humankind, but Church has been ordained by God as an essential asspect of Christian Fellowship and Worship. The importance of Worship, no matter if it is on Sunday or any other day of the week, has to do with the gathering of God's people from different walks of life, no matter what background or station in life, and worshipping the Lord together.

I often hear, that one is able to worship God in the woods. While I agree in part, I cannot fully accept this statement. More often than not, this type of statment has to do with how we spend our time. No one likes to have somone else tell us what to do on our day off. When dealing with the couples of the churches I have served, the husband spends more time in the woods on his days off and less time with his family. I have no problem with hunting on Sundays if one's priorities are in line:
PRIORITY ONE: One's relationship with the Lord.
PRIORITY TWO: One's relationship with his/her family.
PRIORIRY THREE: One's own health, both mentally and physically.

Most men who hunt or play golf, etc. should take a moment to ask their spouse if they hunt too much. Many of us, including me do not want to hear the answer.

For a man not to ever hunt would be sad, but for a man to never worship the Lord with the company of others is even worse.

However, the real/original question has to do with the legislation of "Non-Hunting" Sundays. This type of law is law from a day long since gone in the south. At a time when "Blue Laws" were in place, no business were open on Wed. afternoon or on Sunday. These "Blue Laws" were put in place by those conservitive Christians who believe nothing should take importance over church. Luckly for all of us, this is not the case today. As for legislating "Non-Hunting" Sundays. I am for the seperation of Church and State. I would hate for someone of a different religion tell me I could not hunt because they find a deer, turkey, or a duck to be a holy animal.

As for me, the final day of deer season in GA is tomorrow and after church is finished and I have enjoyed my Sunday lunch, I will be close to 30 feet up a tree in my summit climbing stand hoping for the big one to walk out.
