I very clearly said in the first post that it was my sem teacher. If sem teachers don’t teach hashkafa, what DO they teach?
And you are still not acknowledging the fact that you grossly misquoted me and are now trying to cover yourself up by likening a well-respected person’s views to actually teaching the subject.
Anger is only likened to avoda zara when you lose yourself. I have not lost myself, I have not lost my temper, I am merely expressing my deep frustration at having my words twisted by someone else and then not even bothering to back down when they have clearly shown themselves to be in the wrong. You cannot justify misrepresenting someone in order to suit your own very warped sense of thinking. I would still like an apology.
On a different note, I would like to ask a question, and would love to get a straight, non-avoidant answer. You laid claims to certain books, saying that the content in them was questionable (I am referring back to Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the like). If books are so forbidden, how do you know the content of them, other than what you may have heard from others, which of course could have been exaggerated or twisted round – unless, of course, you have read them? If you have not read them, then with all due respect, you have no idea what you are talking about. And if you have, then please refer to my previous post on the causes of OTD.
Looking forward to your reply. And please do us the favour of thinking very carefully before you do so.
