In reply to the discussion: Well DU, it's been nice knowing you [View all]malthaussen
(17,065 posts)269. There is an old story...
... about one of the Enlightenment authors spending the Sabbath in Scotland. (Might have been Hume, in fact, it's like him). The day started with a three-hour sermon in church, then home where the patriarch led prayers and Bible readings for several hours. Then it was back to church for another sermon, topped off by a Spartan dinner and more prayers and discourses about the Faith. When the guest ventured to complain about the standard of entertainment, his host looked at him in contempt and asked why he should be bored when every day in Heaven was going to be just like this.
