Reply To: Going off the Derech

exlakewooder-By saying that for some people, a religious life ‘works superbly’, I think you are misunderstanding why people are religious. It’s not like a ‘diet’ that works, or an outfit that fits, it’s a truth. Simple as that. What one does about that truth may vary from person to person, and for different reasons.

OhTeeDee-The frum world not having a monopoly on Judaism only means that most people are not informed. Most American Jews know nothing about their heritage, and are so indoctrinated into American culture, that they don’t even care. This does not invalidate the truths of Judaism.
