mariner:
“you people are taking a gemora that explains how to be mekayim the posuk”
I would certainly hope so!
“using it for a society 2 thousand years after. that is sheer stupidity. yes, its technically still applicable, but to say its halchic is nonsense.”
So the 1,500 year old Gemora is no longer relevant? And the 800 year old Rambam is stuff for the olden days? And the 450 year old Shulchan Orach is ancient history? And the other mentioned poskim and mforshim of more recent vintage are chopped liver?
