Christians Bullied Shop Owner to Stay Closed on Sundays

21. Yep.

Go to any appliance store. Stoves and refrigerators have "Shabbat mode"

We only noticed it because we now have Jewish neighbors in our building who are observant

I find it all interesting and yet silly.

On one hand, it's a great idea to spend quality time with your family without the use of electronic devices. On the other hand the reasoning behind is just plain silly.

It's great they can't use electronic devices. But really fucking inconvenient when they rent their parking spot out on Cubs days and the renter parks over the line (blocking the other neighbor's spot) or in the wrong spot and we can't get a hold of them. Or they leave their dog home howling while they stroll the neighborhood with no phones.

When they moved in they purchased a big Weber gas grill. Typically neighbors on the same floor share grills due to limited space -- silly to have two grills right next to each other. Nope, sky fairy says you can't cook cheeseburgers because no meat and cheese together.


On the other hand, I was raised Catholic. So it's not like there isn't enough of this silliness to go around.
