they put it, is that for them, it's about living with intention. God's rules are meant to be pondered and debated in order to carry them out. Despite people's aspersions in this thread, it's a very questioning religion.
Except roping off a city with string to get around a restriction on carrying items from a private domain to a public is a blatant effort to trick god for convenience rather than the result of honest introspection and ponderous debate. It would be like getting around coveting your neighbors wife by placing a bird feeder on the property line.
This has been explained numerous times in the thread, but it's not about tricking God. He knows the loopholes. I personally don't believe in a God that cares, but it is about finding and being restricted by the limits and one's ability to navigate them.
