“Rather than dealing with Nope…”
Or, in other words, “rather than admitting the things about which I was wrong, as has been amply documented.” And you claim to be only standing up for the truth!
And then you double down. R. Friedman didn’t “call G-d a monster,” he said that ***if*** He had said such-and-such, then He would be that. Do you understand what a conditional statement, or a reductio ad absurdum, is? He’s saying that G-d is ***not*** saying such-and-such, therefore He is ***not*** such-and-such. Here, look at a Rashi from last week’s Parshah (Bamidbar 14:28), explaining a statement of Hashem’s: אם לא כן אעשה, כביכול איני חי – “if I do not do such-and-such, then (so to speak) I am not alive.” Previously in this thread I quoted a Sifri that says, “when you (Jewish people) are My witnesses, I am G-d; when you are not My witnesses, I am (so to speak) not G-d.” Here’s the original: כשאתם עדיי אני אל וכשאין אתם עדיי כביכול איני אל. By your “logic,” are Rashi and Sifri denying that G-d is alive or that He is G-d, chas veshalom?
And very well, let’s say R. Friedman is correct that you can’t be punished for lying. (You’ll notice that nowhere in this thread, or anywhere else, have I said that I ***agree*** that it’s so; maybe, maybe not, but the man has the right to his opinion.) But come on; are you a five-year-old, that as long as there are no punishments, then you’ll just try to get away with whatever you can? Have you no self-respect, that everyone here can see you lying through your teeth?
