Reply To: Time to demolish orthopraxy

Pekak, i made no mention of alienation of people. But we must not permit alien ideologies and beliefs to enter our minds or tolerate them.

I bet you’d be alright with not tolerating Christian beliefs in our community; jewish people who keep mitzvos but secretly believe in yushke and sometimes let it out in conversation…

Or what about Holocaust deniers? Would you allow them to go about denying the Holocaust openly on occasion, slipping in here and there that maybe the whole thing was a lie…

Apokorsus is dangerous; such ideas as spiritual poison, and if given the choice between letting the Torah community, or my own children, thinking that apokorsus is ok, versus possible alienation of such people… innocent people are frankly more important.
