Q&A: Sabbath
Sabbath
Question
And just another petty, gossipy question that reflects the personality of the questioner.
Why is your site open on the Sabbath (including the option to send questions)?
As a secular person I obviously have no problem with it, but I’m curious whether, according to your view, there is any difficulty here.
Answer
First, I’m not familiar with an option to close the site on the Sabbath, so I didn’t think to do that. But beyond that, I don’t think I would close it even if there were such an option. Someone who decides to write on the Sabbath—that is his decision (and usually, if he doesn’t believe or at least isn’t committed, then as I wrote in my well-known article about causing a secular person to sin, he also is not committing a transgression; that is, he is not considered an offender).
