"so basically if you're not working as hard as you can and using everything God gave you, then you are being slothful, and that is a sin and a sign of reprobation."
SHame on me for not reading earlier. The early protestants had a mission to reinstall gods kingdom on earth, and not working the fields as hard as you can was a sin because they had to treat the world as best as they could. Weber didn't get that and cherry-picked from some quotes, it's pretty easy to go in with a stretched leg, the harships of labour weren't actually underapreciated.
