    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.
