They work and have families. Oh yeah, they are great consumers too. I live near some and see them at the grocery store. #1 thing I see them buying...Mountain Dew! They love caffeine.

The Amish are a very conservative Christian faith group, with an Anabaptist tradition. Many of their beliefs are identical to those of many Fundamentalist and other Evangelical churches, including:
1] Adult baptism is done after one makes a commitment to the church.
2] Belief in the Trinity, the virgin birth, incarnation, sinless life, crucifixion, resurrection ascension, and atonement of Jesus Christ.
3] One lives on after death, either eternal rewarded in Heaven or punished in Hell.
4] Salvation is a gift from God, through unmerited grace.
5] The Bible's authors were inspired by God. Their writings are inerrant. The Bible is generally to be interpreted literally.
6] Satan exists as a living entity.
Hope this helps. The web site has a lot more info.

Almost same funeral techniques, except no singing at the funeral and sometimes they may or may not embalm them.......they put no makeup on. They are religious like some of us Americans. Only difference is technology.
