Dear Qwerty,
You said you watch TV. But nobody assumed that that is where you got your opinions from. You keep assuming that you know how people who you never met are thinking.
” Chazal tell us that a judge who judges properly is a partner with Hashem in creation. Since you’re such a Maamin in these statements then you must believe that all honest judges throughout history worked in tandem 5783(or ~15 billion years ago remember I’m MO) with G-d. That would really be polytheism. How do I, a Torah Jew, understand this Chazal? We say in the davening that each day Hashem recreates the world and so an honest judge is a partner with Hashem because he acts according to Hashem’s wishes. This is a rational approach which does not tamper with the fundamental beliefs of Yiddishkeit.”
This is not rational thinking, and it insults MO. The same as the other poster that doesn’t know that all pills had to have been ground. MO is about knowing more than just Torah. Not knowing less. I think a lot of posters use the MO label as a ‘no questions allowed’ shield.
One of the amazing things about being human, is that we can consciously perceive God. That goes beyond our instinctive sense of the God-force. Justice in the Torah (Beginning of tomorrow’s parsha.) is about being aware of all the factors et. It requires extreme awareness to every detail. And bringing it all to a just conclusion. Which is the same process as bringing the world into existence. Since Hashem get’s no benefit out of the physical existence of things, Hashem’s purpose in creation must be purposeful outside of the physical itself. Justice is such a purpose. Proscribing mishpat as per The Torah is achieving the very same purpose Hashem set out to do.
It is very strange that you called this polytheism and Chabad bothers you. You are giving off a strong vibe of anti theism. Like, any belief beyond what we can explain through a purely human/rational/physical perspective, is untrue/idolatry/silly.
I hate to tell you, that you seem less rational than the median Chabdtzker. There is so much beyond the human perspective, that it would be easier to say that everything In know is a lie and embrace nihilism.
