Electric city shabbas festival

I must say here that discussing the shabbas has a little less intellectual money involved as if you dont worry abotu electricity, how much different is it from the rest of the people on earth really. And thats a fact. This is probably a truth; keeping the sabbath after say 1900 seemed more of a duty of righteousness than it did before say 1850 when there was no electricity. Jews just did not work on shabbas and didnt light a fire. They were holy and the day was holy. After say 1910 the electricity became a norm and people really stood out as they didnt even use electricity on shabbas. So the jewish people really looked good right?  I say they did to themselves but that many people snickered behind our backs. And that is how it really is. They still snicker especially when you tell them that you dont cut squares of toilet paper to wipe your heinie.  Its good to really want to be Gods best child, but to be perfectly honest, God does like the troublemakers as much as he likes the angels.  So be good and make an impact. If you cause a little trouble the rest of the troublemakers (the non shabbas following non jews) might like you personaly a little bit more.  But you'll lose that edge you have over them when it comes to getting daddys little bowl of soup for him in the morning.  But who is to say that Daddy likes his soup carrier more than he likes his rambunctious son who likes to play cops and robbers.  Right?  Daddy is not a prude is he?  Daddy is just fun to be around and Daddy if you did not guess is our Dear Creator, Hashem!  Baruch Hashem!

So I am sorry to be such a religious party pooper but I bet that God is not a big fan of obi wan kenobe dolls either (see post about eiruvs). I am not a bad guy and I dont like to piss off the wrong people at all and I dont like to piss off God in any sense or form. So if I made you angry by seeming to be less related to God and more related to your marble sandwich, I can just say that I dont eat marble sandwiches and I am truly doing my best to serve my Country, My God and my fellow man. Baruch Hashem! Sound better this time? Thanks!
