Religious "loopholes"

[Type Username Here]

What are some good religious "loopholes" that you find hilarious or absolutely dumbfounding?

For example: the religion restricts them from doing something a certain way, so they find a loophole or use of semantics to "trick" God into being able to do it.

Some better known examples:

Islamic banking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orthodox Jews, The Sabath and Loopholes:

For decades, observant Jews have found ways to work around Sabbath restrictions in the kitchen. They taped down the button on the refrigerator door frame to keep the light from turning on. Or someone unscrewed the bulb before Friday sunset. They turned on an oven in advance - that way, they could warm food on the Sabbath without altering temperature settings. In recent years, however, well-intentioned appliance makers have been installing safety features that automatically shut off ovens after 12 hours. That meant a unit turned on at dusk Friday would be cold before lunch on Saturday. When companies learned this was complicating dinner preparation for some Jews, they supplied an optional override. Thus, a rudimentary "Sabbath mode" was born.

I've heard of the Mormon Bubble System, where they put bubbles around women with clothing to make them seem naked so they can masturbate without looking at porn or nudity.

I think Islamic Banking might turn out to be a good system will have to let it run for a while to see.

No extreme interest gouging, no credit default swaps, etc.

that said I agree that beyond simple banking they're probably playing semantic games to some degree

Islamic banking is just structuring to turn interest into "profit". The underlying economics are essentially the same as conventional banking. A car note will still run you 16% here, whether you get a conventional loan or do it using an Ijarah.

a car loan is what I was alluding to as simple banking. What I'm saying is that unless you want to turn the concept of profit meaningless there's still some limit to what you can call a profit--like can you do what credit card companies do and charge interest on top of interest on top of interest? And my other point is that , if people are being rigorous, it also reigns in rampant financial 'innovation'
