36. Or creation at all

What comes down to is that you are not allowed to create. In their mind the light switch causes a spark and you are creating that spark. I'm a Jew and I cannot comprehend!

They (orthodox) say this law works well because you force yourself to be closer to your family by turning off the TV, computer, radio, work, and all distraction and forces you to actually talk to your family and connect.

On the other hand, you cannot rip paper on the sabbath so I wonder what they do after taking a shit.
