The original statement was: “it’s better to be a frei yid who holds the rebbe’s moshiach than a snag who’s frum.”
NP said it was justifiable in the following scenario:
Guy 1 – Is Frei (not careful with kashrus, relationships with other gender, ect) but not mechalel Shabbos publicly and not an oved Avoda Zora
Guy 2 – Holds there isn’t going to be ANY Moshiach.
So he made the frei guy frum, and the frum guy frei.
That’s not putting it into context, that’s distorting it beyond recognition.
Nice try, I guess, but no dice.
