Homosexuality is forbidden to all by the Torah. Having indecent advertisements affects everyone nearby. Shabbos laws don't apply to everyone. Non-Jews are under no commandment to keep Shabbos - in fact, they're forbidden to keep it. Having non-Jews drive doesn't take away from the holiness, if anything it enhances it, by showing that Shabbos is unique to Jews.<br />I don't understand their problem. Let the non-Jews have their parking lot. Yes, many Jews drive on Shabbos also, but protesting a parking lot is not the way to stop them. The parking lot isn't the problem.Orthowatchhttp://orthowatch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-75372345402025794752009-06-08T11:32:44.976-04:002009-06-08T11:32:44.976-04:00Hear, hear!
