Now, what exactly is this supposed to mean?

By Father Pint O'Guiness Christianity is a religion of space aiming at the sanctification of space. Unlike the time-minded man to whom space is unvaried, iterative, homogeneous, to whom all places are alike, quality-less, empty shells, the Bible senses the diversified character of space. There are no two places alike. Every place is unique and the only one given at the moment, exclusive and endlessly precious. http://www.pleaserecognizesatire.com/ Re: ————– Shabbat as a Sanctuary in Time The Sabbaths are our great cathedrals, the Jewish equivalent of sacred architecture.

And I think some of it is worth reviewing. In particular, R Lee Smith and Sidfaiwu had a decent exchange that was respectful, clear-headed, and educational. But for all of his calm, nice words and (sometimes) logic, R Lee Smith really shows the scary/loopy side of religion in his posts #73 and particularly #76. Check them out.

I thought that I would take a peak at this site for old times sake. At least we Jews give you something to talk about. Here is the idea again: Work means among other things conscious purposeful control of technology/energy. On the seventh day we sit back from the wonderous technology that humanity has created (using our God-given brains during the other 6 days of the week) and enjoy it. Is that really so hard for you to understand? We don't light fires and we don't turn on or off electrical applicances or traffic lights -- NOT EVEN INSIDE OUR ERUV! Non Jews are not bound by these particular laws so if you, a non Jew, pushes the button for your own needs I can also cross with you (but I can't ask you to do it for me). The detectors being described would not work so far as I know (but I'm not a Rabbi). There is one sort of exception -- one can create new life on the Sabbath (I think it's a blessing to do so) but that's not really a technology creation. I realize that some view adherence to a set of religious laws as being silly from their perspective (you probably laugh at all sorts of things that are different from you -- that's known as intolerance and has been a plague of humanity forever_ but am a bit surprised that you "rationalists" never seem to be able to fathom the logic behind the rules which are really extremely self consistent. Happy secular New Year. rlee I can’t believe it, its almost 2006 and you guys are still at it. I thought that I would take a peak at this site for old times sake.
