“Whereas you have them listed A besulah A married woman A beulah”
I provided no such list
“Your contention that you want to use to codify the situation, that the rule only applies between man and creator but not between man and his fellow man, seems bizarre to me.
Why would /should that be so?”
Because it makes sense.
If I ask you what’s worse eating cheilev or neveila, it makes sense to say well none of them seem surprised to me let’s check the general.
On the other hand if I ask what’s worse hitting it maiming, it’s strange to say let’s look it up.
Molech was mentioned earlier. As you know, if a person sacrifices all his children El he doesn’t get miss. I assume (correct me if I’m wrong) that this is yet another exception to the rule.
Fine no big Kasha we already have nearly 20 explicit exceptions what’s one more (after shabbos I’ll list them).
But, and I think this is a good one. How do you know this is an exception? Maybe it’s better to sacrifice all, and tellingly he doesn’t get Missy. (to be clear I’m not asking how we know he doesn’t get Missa I’m asking how do you know his act is worse, assuming you believe it is?
