Gerald E. Groff, a mail carrier, called more professionally a Rural Carrier Associate (RCA), who worked for the United States Postal Service (USPS) from 2012 to 2019, won the court process in the already famous case Groff v. DeJoy on June 29, 2023, when the Supreme Court of the United States ruled 9-0 for Groff whose plea not to work on Sunday for religious reasons was not respected by the employer, the Wikipedia confirmed, and earlier, on April 18, 2023, Univision Noticias reported about the oral argument heard by the Supreme Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court in favor of liberty of conscience was a good work as a defense of a lawful principle, and it should be even more valid for the biblical Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, (known unfortunately with its pagan name Saturday), because the fourth commandment, part of the Decalogue of the Ten Commandments, was “written with God’s finger” (Exodus 31:18), and He Who wrote it was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4, last part).
In addition, the case should not be converted into World v. God. Just for comparison, in 321 the Roman emperor Constantine I “introduced the first civil legislation concerning Sunday”, and in 1453 his Byzantine empire ended with the fall of Constantinople. Furthermore, in April 1919, the mass movement of unpaid labor on Saturday called subbotnik in Russia, known as Lenin subbotnik as well, was launched, and Vladimir Lenin died from severe brain sclerosis and syphilis on January 21, 1924, in a mental house in Gorki, a suburb of Moscow, while his communist empire USSR ended in December 1991.
