No - also Muslims, and also common in many parts of the world (although
it\'s mainly the Jews who make a big religious thing of it).

Where in the Bible does it state they may not dial cellphones and

Another blissful person! The Amish way of life is not based on the
Bible, but on their history of persecution before they left
Switzerland and later, Germany. There are many peculiarities within
the religion - for instance, they eschew buttons and zippers, they
are non-violent, use long-guns, but not hand guns, and much more.
Again, nothing at all to do with the Bible - but to keep themselves
separate from the \"English\", their generic term for what is Not-Them.

I would think most of the Old Testament laws - dietary restrictions,
clothing restrictions, circumcision, etc. - are exactly the same. The
purpose is simply to maintain a separate identity.
I thought only Jews did the barbaric practise of circumcision?
Something they should be locked up for.
