Y’all are missing the point. I live in an area with a large Amish community. The point of their rules is not that technology is sinful, it’s that it is unnecessary.

The Amish say that “the luxuries of one generation become the necessities of the next.” In this they are completely correct. Why have electric lights in your home, with all that is required to support them, when candles or lamps work fine? Why drive a car when you have a horse?

Their lifestyle is all about simplicity and self reliance. We would do well to learn from them instead of mocking them.

That is right, the way they live is not considered a religion but a life style, their belief is the same in general as most any other Christian.
