        That entirely sums up the Jewish relationship with god. You’re not allowed to carry ANYTHING outside your house on the Sabbath, so they make bracelets involving house keys, and put a wire around entire cities and declare it all a “dwelling” or something like that. Google eruv to read about it. Oh also they have timer things on stoves that turn on randomly so that you don’t directly turn it on yourself.

          There’s also elevators with a Sabbath mode so on that day it stops at every floor because they’re not allowed to press buttons on the Sabbath.

          My stove has a setting just to keep it on 24 hours or more at a time. I knew what the setting was for, husband did not, the sales person did and was surprised I knew. I think it might even be called a sabbath setting in the manual.

      There’s a few things about some religions that make me think you’re pulling a fast one on god on some level.

      Not eating during the day for a while, but once the sun goes down you’re good? It feels like you’re sneaking while god’s not looking.

      Only if you want to do it

      (technically you still can’t directly ask people to do stuff, but for example saying “it’s hot in here” and someone else turns on the ac is fine)
