quote:aaa i c....so the reason why stores are close every sunday is becoz of the religion. hmmm ....I thought its becoz of the need of the employees...and they need to take a rest one day break (sunday)

about the multi restaurants i think becoz of Dutch food is not that tasty hehehehe....but true that ur culture is open to other food cultures.
about religion, hmm so far that I know about religion in The Nederlands is that only small percentage community still religious....only some people still go to the church on sunday morning hehehehe but I think its normal for Europen countries isn't it?? they dont really more to religion ...not even believe in something. only believe in them self

am I right??
Yes, sunday is for employees to take a rest, but you can plan different employees on different days, so the one can get a day of at for instance saturday and another on monday, why does it have to be sunday? you can't do shit on sundays, but bore yourself to death.
And about the church.. I'm not a believer, but I'm raised a christian. I went to the church only a few times when I was a youngster and I went to a christian school. I guess I did learn some from the christian belief. But I think you don't need te believe in a god and if you do you don't need a church to do so.
I also think the bible isn't that important to the religion as the believers say. I't's about situations in life that are written down (from ages ago, but still you might learn from it). Though with most things you're only able to understand what is ment if you went through a similar situation and you don't need a bible to see what's wrong or right.
I think everybody has it's own bible and it grows by the years. Who needs a believe to know what's wrong or right?
that's how I feel about it anyway. You call it believing in yourself, I call it believing in life.
