Sam2 -“Health: I was proven wrong? From what?”
From the Rambam.
“You’re grasping at straws with your Diyuk in the Rambam (you may have proven that an atheist has the same Din as an Oved Avodah Zarah L’davar Zeh, but that’s it)”
It’s no Diyuk -he says it outright!
“and you’re using an anachronistic concept of the word “Kopher” and branching it over many things that it shouldn’t be branched over.”
A Kopher is a denier like an atheist. I didn’t branch out at all. I didn’t say a Kopher B’dovor Echad, even though they have a Din of Kopher B’ikkar. I said a Kopher B’Ikkar has the same Din as a Oived Kochavim. And you can do to them like you do to any O’K!
I’m sorry this is such a Chiddush to you, but to me this is Pashut!
