Why God and the Bible were right about why you should have to work a 55 hour 6 day workweek
-
You should work more so that the 1% can buy more mansions and bigger yachts.
Someone didn't read the article before taking the rage-bait!
This work doesn’t need to be paid. Volunteering and child-rearing certainly count as long as the activity is demanding, consistent and productive.
Volunteering and child-rearing doesn't really build a mansion or yacht now does it?

How much volunteer work is necessary only because the agencies that should have and would have done those things have been shut down to fund tax cuts for the rich?
Or even more directly because the problems being addressed are a direct consequence of government policies instituted solely to benefit a handful of wealthy donors?

How many of those programs would even need to exist if more people volunteered... voluntarily? Wouldn't have needed to tax people from the get-go. Let alone tax people then tax cut for the rich.

Your apologetics is unbecoming. The article is intentionally written to promote the notion that a 40-hour work week is unbiblical, and the line you've cited is included to give plausible deniability to anyone who says otherwise.
If you take into account any "activity [that] is demanding, consistent and productive" most people are already "working" way more than 55 hours a week, especially if they're a parent. To suggest otherwise is profoundly ignorant or disingenuous. This suggests an ulterior motive: begin manufacturing consent to get rid of weekly work hour limits.

Negative. Opposite intention... It takes more than 15 hours a week to raise a child properly. I would argue this is a good stance to reduce the workload on people as far as "jobs" go.
You don't need to argue random bullshit. Take their argument, and take it to the logical extreme. Done. Now they have to admit that the 40 hour work-week for jobs is excessive.
Edit: Basically make the looney religious nuts eat their words... in case that wasn't clear.

Is your reading comprehension ok?
It takes more than 15 hours a week to raise a child properly
That's MY point
So you agree that what you wrote in your original comment is a bullshit defense of a bullshit article?

Yours clearly isn't.
You took the rage bait. You took their article to mean something when you can easily make it mean EXACTLY what your point is. You're just too into arguing with random people on the internet to realize it.
Y'all are crazy.

Wow this really is blatant and out in the open. You have to be really dumb to not see how obvious this is (very uneducated, indoctrinated, deeply religious).
This is one of the main purposes of religion. To get slaves to work. The slaves of the time were obviously uneducated, and easily manipulatable with superstitious thinking. Convince them when they die, they'll go to heaven and live in paradise. As long as you obey, keep working, and don't fight back.
Its so blatantly obvious, and its right there on FOX news, in the year of our lord 2025. Yowza, the Christians who fall for this are absolutely idiotic, it's hard not to feel pity, as its really not their fault.

Nah, anyone believing in a loving sky daddy as described by the vast majority of religions in the year 2025 yet can believe this kind of anti-human tripe is absolutely contributing to the problem, willfully and consciously.

Woe, such a deep and enlightened take! Next you're going to tell depressed people to, "just be happy".
Seriously, grow up and realize the real world is more complicated than you playing doll house...

Hou are illiterate if you genuinely believe all this crap you've spewed... No wonder you defend "biblical" teachings... Genuinely, your reading comprehension is below an already low average, and that is relevant to the conversation.

You might want to proofread your own post before talking about literacy. Your very first word is typo'd.
And I couldn't give a shit about biblical anything. I'm atheist.
Edit: Oh and literacy is capability of reading/writing. Not about what someone believes. So you might want to check back into elementary school with that other guy too.

Nah, as in, no pity, I assume?
The problem is, many believers (arguable how many, but it could be pretty substantial) could be regarded as legally mentally handicapped. This is generally regarded as an IQ of 70 or below. What about those that have IQs from 70-85? Not legally disabled, but very easy to manipulate by intelligent people and would have a difficult time navigating propaganda.
Are the extremely stupid at fault? I'd say no, the entire blame should be placed on those in power who are manipulating these people for personal gain. It's truly psychopathic and sadistic.
But no pity whatsoever to someone who is smart enough to understand, but chooses to go along due to cowardice or other reasons.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Ohhhh nononono, I agree that those in power have far MORE blame, but at what point do you call a dangerous idiot caught up in propaganda dangerous?
No matter how you feel about them, they WILL kill you for disobeying. At what point does a useful idiot become an enemy combatant?
People that embrace teachings wholly counter to what they are supposed to believe should bare guilt. They should not be forgiven if they go on to make the world a worse place simply for being an ignorant fool.
They can be forgiven AFTER they change their ways. Until then, they are a brainless tool being actively used by evil people.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Oh no, a typo means I cannot read! Oh the humanity! Thanks for proving to me that you have no logical basis to defend yourself.

Once again, proving you have nothing to provide.
