cynic613, I left Yeshiva/Seminary a long time ago, so I might not know the exact definition of apikorsus (should I check on Wikipedia?) but I know that the main character of The Chosen goes searching for truth in the secular world. He wants to be a psychologist and Freud (an apikores) becomes his Moreh Derech. His message is that the Torah doesn’t have all the answers, and there is truth elsewhere too. You call it “not glatt kosher”, to me it smacks of apikorsus.
About your name, why do you represent yourself as an observant Jew with a negative character trait? It’s an oxymoron…
