I hear what you are saying, but the truth is that theodicy is a very big part of our belief system, as evident even in Shema- there is schar v’ onesh.
Part of the “public policy” that G-d expects of the world, as evident in the Noahide Laws, is the issur against homosexual sex.
When we have the audacity to honor and officially recognize these illicit relationships, we are declaring war against G-d, Morality, and His Truth. B”H that religious G-d fearing Christians realize this in our country.
I am extremely put off by efforts of some in the Modern Orthodox camp, including those I greatly respect, to acknowledge these lifestyles and liberal movements.
One MO rabbi, in St. Louis, IIRC, said he’d have a cake at a kiddush in honor of a same-sex “marriage.” Another in Maine (R’ Akiva Herzfeld) involved himself in an effort to secure the legalization of such an abomination in that state. Where is the outrage?
The lesson to be taken from the mabul and from Rosh HaShanah davening is that HaShem cares about and judges the world. All people are precious to him; when people attempt to usurp the natural order and Morality by sanctioning this kind of filth, they are bringing judgment upon themselves.
Any understanding of the Noahide Laws can only lead us to the conclusions reached by R’ David Novak- Hazal understood that Noahide Laws institute a pubic policy for the world that Jews are obligated to advance in their intellectual and political and social life. For anyone to rally for anything contrary to this simple truth is a shame.
