Description[?]:
| "Not all Jews practice Judaism, and such, not all Jews are subject to the sabbath; nor should they be. There are also other religions that practice sabbaths on different dates (such as those Muslim crazies). This bill is to simply make it clear that anyone may opt out of "honoring" the sabbath, such as Atheists and Agnostics, that don't recognize it. Of course, an employer that practices Judaism cannot allow any of his employees to work without violating his or her religion. However, an Atheist or Agnostic employer may request any of his fellow irreligious employees to come to work on the Jewish sabbath without violating any such code." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA >>Be it enacted by the Knesset of the Sixth Jewish Homeland of Beiteynu, the following shall become law: 1)(A)A new section, "Section 1: Sabbath" shall be added to Article XX of the JHC, and it shall read: "1)(A)In no way may the historical Jewish "Law of the Sabbath" have the effect of law upon the nation of the Sixth Jewish Homeland of Beiteynu. (B)However, no employer may make his or her employees work on their respective sabbaths of their religions." 2)(A)It is the intention of the legislature that if any part or parts of this bill are deemed unconstitutional that all other parts of this bill shall remain in full force and effect.<< http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Jewish_Homeland_Code |

| Message | What about religous Jews that work for non-religous "Jews"? THey should have the right to opt-out too! |

| Message | Of course they do. The bill doesn't restrict them. It simply says that they can't be forced to work by a non-religious employer against their own will. |
