What absolute nonsense!

You may well be discussing morals and/or religious beliefs, but you are
not discussing economics.  What a person or a society might do with
their free time (their freedom) is not a morality.  Whether they lie in the
sun and look at the women go by or spend the time education
themselves and creating things of value to the society is not at issue
except for the fact that their PRODUCTIVE efforts in NEW things
will increase the freedom of others both now and in the future.  Throwing
fundamentalism and magical crapola at it is counterproductive to
the actual science of economics.
