That's not even close to the truth. Look it up, even the Catholics admit it was to increase members by attracting the Romans of the time.

> don't see how that quote in any way contradicts what I said: the "seventh day" part of "seventh day adventism"

Its does contradict what was meant and is a quote from the person who named the religion.

I'm done, you are spreading untruths about a religion to discredit people.

> even the Catholics admit it was to increase members by attracting the Romans of the time

Again, I don't see how this contradicts what I said. Basically, it was a marketing ploy.

> Its does contradict what was meant
