LMA: Now do you believe me? You have taken a Chassidish Shitta (probably not even that) and made it the “Charaidi” opinion!
Chareidim define their Judaism with their “Hergesh”/feelings, whereas MO defines their Judaism with their intelligence.
I guess Briskers are MO. Quit while you are way behind, just like you should have in the other MO thread, where you said the same crazy ideas. Mitzvos are done because Hashem said so, not for any exterior motive.
You have abrogated the chiuv of Limud Torah, and made it into a side point to “feeling Jewish”. You are guilty of what the GRA accused Chassidim of doing, and what the Reform are doing today!
I would like to hear what Derech HaMelech or even HaLeiVi feels about this point. I have a feeling that they will take the other side as well (as opposed to the Chassidish MSseeker).
Finally, Devakus can only be obtained through Limud HaTorah, as per the gemorah Kesubos.
