I didn’t say that all OTD comes from mental problems. For #1 & 2- I didn’t define which mental ilness has a Din Shoitah -you did that by saying no mental disease is an excuse for OTD. I don’t know if people with mental disease would like to be called shoitim, but I was discussing if they fall into that catergory for Halacha purposes. You seem to think you are a poisek by saying no mental disease is an excuse -you’re not!
“I thought you’re not judging them? Anyway that’s you’re interpretation of the application of halacha.”
Of course I’m judging them -L’caf Zecus! You are correct, it’s my interpretation based on many years of learning. How many years did you learn in Yeshiva?
“I don’t look down on non-frum Jews in general and never indicated as such. I do look down on those that could so carelessly and callously shed all vestiges of our holy religion under the guise of “mental illness caused them to”.”
This is an Oxymoron. You equate people with mental illness with Mummer L’hachas. By saying “guise”- I guess in your mind there is no such thing as mental illness -something that was just made up by a bunch of shrinks!
