DH,

I respect your opinion, but my experience with some who went OTD or are Orthoprax leads me to beleive otherwise. There are some unanswerable questions, some things that look like paradoxes and some things that seem historically inaccurate. It does take emunah.

Health,

I’m sorry you don’t see the connection between OTD and Orthoprax. Most Orthoprax people that I know don’t go OTD because they are married and have children and they don’t think sacrificing their family is worth it, even if they don’t believe. They are OTD but they just don’t look it.

In addition, there is a myth that in order to go OTD you have to be screwed up in some way (see earlier posts on this thread). There is a growing trend for people to go OTD/Orthoprax because of belief, not because of any major issues in their life.

mw13, Judaism doesn’t claim to have all the answers in current form. They are all hidden within Torah. But to say that we know all the answers from Judaism is wrong.
