That
is what Amish are saying about Smoke detectors. They claim it would be
against their religious beliefs to have smoke detectors in their homes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18108197
A
reporter talked to Mose Miller at his doorstep with his nine children
looking on. It was cold: -15C (5F). Most of the kids were in bare feet.
Their clothes were roughly sewed together - like Victorian patchwork
puppets.
Mose Miller said
"I use this,” he said pointing at his nose, “or him,” and his finger
pointed upwards. “I don’t need a devil on the wall to tell me if my
house is burning.”
When
he was ask what would happen if a fire happened during the night and he
didn't wake up and he and his children burned to death he replied "If God does not wake us, well, that must be part of his plan."
In
other words, if something happens to my kids because of my own
negligence, it must be part of God’s will. JW say the same thing with
not allowing blood transfusions. Christian Scientists have the same
thoughts and don't take their children to hospitals because god will fix
what he wants fixed and it is all god's will.
Smoke
alarms aren't the devil entering your home. Smoke alarms aren't
horrible...Letting your family die in a fire that you could have escaped
if you had a smoke alarm is.
Do
smoke alarms violate Amish religious freedom? How far can people take
shit like this? I mean really people don't want to do something they
yell it is against their religion. Try yelling that taxes are against
your religion. How far do you think you would get with that one? How
many innocent children have to die in fires that they could have escaped
if they had a smoke alarm?
