why do christians think the week begins on sunday, anyway? isn't the whole idea that sunday is the seventh day, the day of rest?

No, that's the Sabbath, which is Saturday. Why so many Christians harp on following fhe ten commandments but then treat Sunday as the Sabbath instead is a mystery to me but I think it was done in Roman times.

Oh, huh. So why was Sunday the only day people got off until the 1800s ish when the modern weekend began. Sorry, I should probably just google this, but it's weird to see such a disconnect between Christian fundamentalism and capitalist ideas of constructing Western lives when the two were pretty much hand in hand for hundreds of years.

Okay, so Christians hosed it up and capitalism went with it. Got it, thank you for walking me through it!
