Thus, many, if not most, theologians believe that as long as you have one day a week that you take and rest from labor and honor God, then you're honoring God's command of keeping the Sabbath.
Just a little help the next time a Christian tries to pull that with you.
While I do appreciate the theological lesson (and I'm not being sarcastic). I don't think that these employees are all that religious. like I said, a convenient excuse. I readily admit that I don't understand the grooming standards of many religions.
That being said I don't have a problem with people wearing turbans or beards or long hair, etc (many of our special forces do). However I am a traditionalist when it comes to the military uniform. IMO before you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Skih....you are American. Matt showed a picture of a Army soldier with a camo turban. Where in this mans religious doctrine says that he must where a turban or not where US Army head gear? Beyond ridiculous IMO.
