‘They give examples in terms that are meant to convince you of things and your brain doesn’t even know to reject it because “it’s just an example”.’
That is good training for your brain! There is a paucity of logical thought in our society. Much of what we believe to be true just isn’t true. (And logical thought is no threat to Judaism as long as we are grounded in our ikkarim, which are not susceptible to either logical or empirical disproof. Of course, as I have mentioned in the previous thread, this is not for everyone — all should consult with their rav regarding educational programs.)
