I don't agree except for the electricity ban.Wait, you agree with all the Shabbat rules except the electricity ban, or you agree with me in opposing all Shabbat rules except for the electricity ban? Until the 19th century, the Sabbath rules were actually good, in that it was a way to protect workers from having to work 7 days a week. That may be true, but as I've made quite clear on many occasions (including repeatedly in this thread), I oppose the idea of blindly following tradition because it's tradition. It doesn't matter how useful, valuable, or necessary a practice was in the distant past; if it's not useful now, it shouldn't be done. After all, until the 19th century, horses were indispensable for transportation and labour but you won't hear many people arguing that we absolutely need to keep stables full of them now. |
