DutchNews.nl - Religious groups are worried about Sunday shopping plans
This is a step further, on the issue of insensitivity on the part of the government in terms of respect of religious affiliation is concerned, especially, in European countries. The Netherlands, in question, have always carried the trophy when it comes to breaking the rules; red lights district, legalization of Soft drugs, Euthanasia and so forth.
If this business as usual goes on on Sunday as being planned, it will no doubt, affect the spirituals receptivity of a populace.
It is on record that most majestic edifices used in ancient times for religious services have been callously converted into shopping malls and cut into smaller spaces for any one who cared enough to apply. This is not giving a damn about the minority who still wants to stick to 'old time religion'. With such glaring testimonies in every nook and crannies, the big religious movement started to experience a trickling in the number of new converts and a difficulty in evangelism, which is a command from their founder, Jesus Christ.
With old worship centers to back up the doubts in the minds of proselytes, the congregation in no time, became the gathering of old folks. It was a common sight to see that from the pulpit to the pews were members on the older side of life. With youths gone, the future of the church was now in severe doubts.
With the order given to local governments to do as they seem pleased, another nail have been dealt to religion and spirituality, two sensitive subject in the whole world.
