What I find a little more disturbing is the attitude of if they don’t want to believe, they’ll find ways to refute your proof. If you can’t give them a good solid proof (even if its not absolutely fool proof), why would they believe? Do you think Judaism encourages mindlessness?
It is too bad that Yiddishkeit doesn’t have a form of Rumspringa, or the “Yisro” method. It would probably allow more of these “going off” to see and understand why one should be an active Yid.
I have my emunah and bitachon B”H but I don’t pretend there is rock solid “proof” for it (There is obviously- at least to me- much evidence). Otherwise it wouldn’t be emunah and bitachon… and there wouldn’t be so many followers of other religions and athiesm. It wouldn’t be a test and we wouldn’t get schar.
Preponderance of the evidence, anyone 🙂
