First of all, the gall one must have to tell your server up front you aren't going to tip her because you don't believe in people working on the Sabbath?
I wish I had those cajones! Of course, I'd be using them in a safer situation...like going out to fight bears...instead of trying to get this reaction from the staff.
At least the Jews are less hypocritical about the prohibition to not work...well...sort of.
Speaking as someone who has spent a very long time studying the bible and the laws inherent therein, it simply baffles me that people who consider themselves "religious" would think it is okay to do something like this...Academically, anyway. From a practical standpoint, I've come to terms with it.
What do you think?

*I* think it's amazing that you went that whole blog post without making a "Jews are cheap" joke.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, the thing that confuses me more who try to get around the "working on Sabbath" rule by coming up with convoluted contraptions that don't constitute as work. Why would God allow a loop hole to be there if this rule was so important? Either he knew the loop hole was there and he's just fucking with them, or ...hmm, maybe he doesn't exist.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
