Okay Fundy Jews

[Berzerker]

Wtf is up with the Sabbath? Seriously! I'm watching Bill Maher's movie "Religiousity" and some Jewish dude is running down the list of no nos on the Sabbath and I'm my head off. You cant light a fire on the Sabbath? Moses and his Buddies stoned a guy to death for gathering firewood on the Sabbath? C'mon, the creator of the universe gives a damn what you're doin on Sunday (or Saturday, or Friday?).

Say it aint so, Joe!

I actually have "some" respect for Judaism (they aint knocking on my door trying to convert me) but this is ridiculous. God did not set aside 1 day a week (or 3 days) for us to do nothing but kill everyone else who is doing something. Jesus H Christ...

Oh, it gets worse. They have Sabbath elevators in Jerusalem. You don't have to push any buttons. They just stop at every floor.

Reform Judaism

Jesus H Christ

Nope.

[Berzerker]

thats right, some guy was just sayin they cant even push buttons that electronically control machinery. Jesus, set us free from this nonsense.

still watching religiousity

God loves Bill Maher

the pot guy in Amsterdam caugt fire

sorry for at his misfortune, may God bless the starving pygmies down in New Guinea

It would probably do you fat Americans some good to be forced to take the stairs once a week.

[Berzerker]

I got stairs everyday of the week

and I thought you were USA?

Yeah, it is silly, IMO. It is a vortex of making harsher and harsher rulings.

IIRC all it says in the bible is that one has to observe its holiness and not work on it. nothing about wiping your ass with pre-cut toilet paper and stuff..

[Elok]

Hassle does not equal rest. Hassle is the opposite of rest. But I thought the movie was called "Religulous?" Or did Maher make a second stupid movie about religion?

Reminds of a story in one of Richard Feynman's books. http://www.cynical-c.com/archives/013236.html

Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't ****ing ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as **** don't ****ing roll!

[Ecofarm]

I've heard they can't tear toilet paper, so they need pre-separated pieces of toilet paper. IIRC, this was only for an annual day of some sort.

Personally, I like the idea of a day without modern BS. Three per week sounds about right.

Are you a Christian Scientist now Berz? I believe Bill Maher is. He has some pretty funny beliefs as well.

I want a sequel that focuses on Walter.

OVER THE LINE!

Bill Maher is a agnostic. He's spiritual or something, and thinks religions are just bureaucracy.
