There's a few things about some religions that make me think you're pulling a fast one on god on some level.

Not eating during the day for a while, but once the sun goes down you're good? It feels like you're sneaking while god's not looking.

Only if you want to do it

(technically you still can't directly ask people to do stuff, but for example saying "it's hot in here" and someone else turns on the ac is fine)

Nah, Jewish Micromanaging is just the natural order of things.
