>>The Jews before Christ had such an extensive rule book that it even detailed the number of steps they could take on the Sabbath. <<

I don't know about that. I do know that carrying keys is considered work, and that there are still a limited number of steps that one can take with keys during the sabbath for the orthodox. Putting on a spray deoderant is allowed on sabbath, but a roll-on is considered work, and therefore taboo. My younger son, who is very bright, is orthodox. We differ. When I ask him about the spray vs. the roll-on, his answer was that the roll-on is related to the mortar used in constructing the temple, and is therefore work. I look at the number of IQ points involved on issues as important as this...Oy vey!
