Good point, I hadn't thought of that!

I think they're not supposed to *cause* work to be done, but can take
advantage of things that are happening anyway.

For example, I was once in a hotel in Jerusalem and on a Friday night,
headed for the lift to go down to the lobby. I noticed a crowd of people
waiting by another lift, but once I hit the button, they were happy to
join me in 'my' lift. Apparently, one lift runs an all-floors stopping
service on the Shabbat, but the others work normally. If a non-Jew like
me
pressed the button for one of those lifts, they had no trouble taking
advantage of it.

Of course, once in the lift, none of them would be able to select a
floor!!
I'd just take the lift to the top floor and get out.


Why


To point out how rediculous superstition (religion) can be!


It isn't. Atheism is, though.

are you 'anti-semitic'®T?


No.


You must be if you'd make jews walk down all those stairs.

Well, lets see... An atheist is a person who has examined all the facts,
come to an intelligent and logical decision based on the evidence found
after billions of people have researched the theory over thousands of years.
Atheists do not follow superstitions about facing east every few hours,
refusing to press buttons on saturdays, fiddling choir boys, going down on
their knees to talk to clouds in the hope that a non-existent entity will
save them from something and all the other strange, superstitions acts that
religious people feel compelled to do in the fear that they won't be saved
from something (its not even clear what they want to be saved from?).

On the other side of the sanity divide we have religious people - people who
have either ignored or failed to understand the facts and have therefore
jumped to an illogical and bizarre conclusion that something exists that we
can't see, touch, feel, measure, communicate with and that can't have any
impact whatsoever on our world. Did you ever figure out your reasons for you
and your faith's conclusion that god exists and your resulting superstitious
behaviours?


are you 'anti-semitic'®T?


No.


You must be if you'd make jews walk down all those stairs.


Please explain how you made the leap from 'pointing out how silly a
superstition is' to 'wanting to kill people for following a certain
religion'?

Why - are you so stupid that you don't know what you said? I said something
about taking them to the wrong floor for a laugh, then you applied your
usual twist and replied to call me anti-semitic.

tantamount to wanting to kill people.
