You don't need the Internet on Sundays. After all, you are forcing hundreds of network administrators, network engineers, technicians, not to mention customer support, etc. to work on Sundays.

Right. That is why I don't use the internet on Sundays except for my spiritual work, that is, helping and education my neighbor spiritually.

I don't watch news on Sundays, nor do I go in to any other worldly site at all during Sundays (unless I have to, for my spiritual work in spreading God's word/material).

Besides, those people or work you mentioned above, most of them has nothing to do with most internet sites anyway, since most are operated independently without forcing hundreds of network administrators, network engineers, technicians, not to mention customer support, etc.
Another point I made before was that we neither know who is working or not working on the sites your visiting for MONEY on Sundays, so this would be another reason why it would be acceptable to use the internet on Sundays (although not recommended at all unless for spiritual reasons, such as reading, or doing other spiritual works, etc. since that is what the Sunday is intended for.)

Also, many sites may have necessity to be up and operating on all days, so there could be a valid reason to work for keeping some sites up, such as hospital sites, or a tsunami warning site, etc.

So your examples are simply not correct.

So, if a potential convert invited you out to eat on a Sunday to talk about converting to the One True Faith and Church, that would be okay? As for this Internet message board, would discussing non-spiritual items on Sundays be prohibited, say, talking about PCs?

For all those not named Hietanen, I still have a problem eating out at restaurants on Sundays.

Using electricity is a necessity, just like getting gas, I've already covered that though people are ignoring it.

Going to a restaurant is not a necessity, not even if you have an irresistible craving for California Rolls, and shops and restaurants used to all be closed on Sunday.

I may go next time I'm asked just to not be a prig, calling on the tenet of "probabilism," I don't know.

Raul, you should consider the below passage before you do something which you know you shouldn't be doing:

1 Kings 15:22-23: “And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire h0Ɩ0cαųsts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams. Because it is like the sin of witchcraft to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.”
