Sabbath mode..
-
So I'm considering buying a wall mounted oven and I'm perusing the new models and come across a "Sabbath mode" feature. What the hell is that? I think to myself (being completely non religious, indeed anti religious even): http://www.wordspy.com/words/Sabbathmode.asp[^] Now isn't this a classic example of breaking the spirit of a law by following the word of the law? I admit I think religion of any kind is just plain silly, but if you are going to adhere to it, shouldn't you really adhere to it and not try to trick your way out of it? If I was a dark and vengeful god I sure know I would smite down those that tried to flout my will this way...maybe this is just proof that god doesn't exist? :-D
I saw the subject line and thought you were referring to Black Sabbth :-O Ozzie rocks :laugh: The tigress is here :-D

Really? Wow, this is more bizzare than I though! It seems odd that God® would notice that they turned a light switch on themselves but not notice them asking the neighbor to do it. :)

At least, this was my experience once when I was a guest at an event in an orthodox church (my girlfriend at the time was Jewish). The fellow kept hinting, sort of saying "gee, it's really bright in the kitchen" to me, being a heathen, since he obviously didn't care about my soul, but couldn't specifically say "go turn the light off because I have to follow these idiotic laws".

Since when is cooking for the family considered work? What's the difference between throwing a lasagna in the oven, and making a sandwich? I'm certainly all for following your religious beliefs, but I don't get this one. BW
I want pancakes! God, do you people understand every language except English?
Yo quiero pancakes. Donnez moi pancakes. Click click, bloody click pancakes!

I guess here the bad thing is not throwing the lasagna in the oven, but turning the oven on, hence the sabath mode of the oven... Hehe, is actually funny. Probably back in the ol`days when electrical appliances started becomming mainstream a conservative Jewish priest decided that people were getting away with "work" on Sabath-day by letting elektric machines do the work for them, so to reintroduce the spirit of Sabath they put in the rule not to activate any elektrical appliances that day. But technological progress has provided new means to obey the rule AND use your appliances at the same time.

Its even more difficult to be observant if you are outside the house, unless you have magick string suspended from poles[^]. As far as crazy religeous activity goes, that even beats dancing round a meteorite once a year at the worlds first theme park. Ryan
O fools, awake! The rites you sacred hold Are but a cheat contrived by men of old, Who lusted after wealth and gained their lust And died in baseness—and their law is dust. al-Ma'arri (973-1057)

What happens if you are involved in an RTA on the sabbath? Surely they would break rules to treat you?

I ( my family ) used to live next a very nice orthodox jewish family and from time to time, they would, kind of, find a way to , knock on our door and ask us to turn on or off some appliances or lights for them on the Sabbath ...

They could have just purchased the clapper. Clapping is not against any religion. :-D "For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you would never have considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence." - Q (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Web - Blog

Now this is just getting pretty silly. :doh: I'm not one to knock anyone's beliefs, but there's a fundamental flaw in anyone's thinking that they can bypass something by letting others do it for them. Now lets see, there are a few people I don't particularly like and would kindly like to see disappear off the face of the planet. Anything I do will be deemed illegal, ...soooo I wonder If someone can do me a favour.... :)
