Legalistic Faith

As much as I admire him for standing up for what I believes, I am led to wonder whether faith is meant to be that legalistic. The Sabbath is a time to stop and rest, it derives from the word 'Sabat' meaning to stop, is there another day that he could do this on, does it have to be a Sunday. I know many of you may say yes and I agree that the Sabbath is an important part of the Christian faith, but I do not believe it just has to be a Sunday. God has given him a talent to use, then I say use it and find other ways to worship and practice your Christian faith, it's not like it's going to be forever, it is a couple of Sundays!
