“it destroys the neshama more than speaking (and more than watching the worst stuff on the internet (cuz it’s kineged a”z giloy arroyos and shfichas damim all together)”
As one of the gedolei yisroel said regarding neo chabad(who shall remain nameless), chochma, bina, daas…but no sechel!
We have a Lubavitcher saying that a holy jew who stumbles one time in the averah of lashon hora, is worse than a person who murders, commits adultery, or worships baal.
Get real. Chazal mean no such thing and you know it. Lashon hora is a huge averah, but do you honestly think a person who murders another Jew has less teshuva to do and his neshoma isn’t as tainted as someone who can’t hold in a juicy piece of lashon hora in the mikveh?
Seriously.
