I have no idea on this subject of course -- but I think it is interesting that you choose "embarrassing" to describe it. I read a lot of ortho skeptic type stuff -- blogs -- on the web, and I also read the opposite side. it really is a strange situation. but i've decided one thing: science is science, and torah is NOT going to be made or broken on whether it c http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3025357281036682878/?src=hsr#47181 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:38:24 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3025357281036682878/?src=hsrs#47181 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3025357281036682878/?src=hsrs#47181 I think I googled something like "what is the deal with torah?" something like that... I was thinking it is a good time to put together say, three of the more serious skeptical bloggers of OJ, and three of the more serious blogger proponents of OJ in a discussion/debate here in NY at some place like YIVO where there is a cool auditorium. I work right near it and have been there many times -- http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3908333730984977567/?src=hsr#47180 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:31:05 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3908333730984977567/?src=hsrs#47180 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/3908333730984977567/?src=hsrs#47180 i think skeptodox is thinking pretty clearly -- the only thing that comes to mind is that the world "cult" has such a negative connotation, that it is too uncharitable towards the ordinary person who becomes observant, or finds meaning in Jewish living. In other words, there may be something felt in this particular cult that is positive, and, it may provide some new ideas about life that are nour http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/988394055333841331/?src=hsr#47179 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:23:15 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/988394055333841331/?src=hsrs#47179 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/988394055333841331/?src=hsrs#47179 XGH is out of the game http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/4154211490567812752/?src=hsr#47178 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:22:18 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/4154211490567812752/?src=hsrs#47178 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/4154211490567812752/?src=hsrs#47178 supernatural -- i think you are sort of splitting hairs. If the ghostbusters movies ever took place in real life -- we would say some of that stuff -- the goblins, ghosts, creatures -- were not "of this/our world". I supposed if they became an every day occurence, flitting in and out of our normal reality, we would have to say "there is another world, with another set of natural rules, that http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/5178841400191318860/?src=hsr#47177 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:07:48 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/5178841400191318860/?src=hsrs#47177 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/5178841400191318860/?src=hsrs#47177 I don't want to get in to the nitty gritty of your complaints -- i totally get them on one level. I think that if you ever have the chance to spend a free year in jerusalem at a kiruv yeshiva like aish, you will have some of your concerns "answered." I tell you, i think skepticism of some of the current thinking in kiruv is VERY warranted. But I think if you spent a good long time among frum je http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2096127800318278055/?src=hsr#47173 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:36:19 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2096127800318278055/?src=hsrs#47173 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2096127800318278055/?src=hsrs#47173 nice you got married. are you equally skeptical about marriage -- that institution engineered to keep people together long enough to raise their spawn? How does a skeptic care about an institution, how does he keep from snickering at its predeluvian quaintness? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2747605242524669706/?src=hsr#44411 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:27:20 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2747605242524669706/?src=hsrs#44411 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/safkanut/2747605242524669706/?src=hsrs#44411 Nope. The existence of multiple opinions implies the existence of multiple PERCEPTIONS of the truth.
