Reply To: Why Would a Girl Even Want to Learn Talmud?

“So I’d like to ask you, if you’re so confused yourself, why are you you teaching? Would you teach science if you didn’t understand it? A teacher needs to be able to help her students understand. What are you doing in the education system?”

Sanityisoverated: Did your read my second post?? I HAVE been teaching. Not anymore. And read the paragraph about modifying my teaching as my thinking changed. Besides, I still think I did a better job than 95% of teachers who think they know what they are talking about.

“The only flaw seems to be your assumption that you have studied everything. You clearly know a lot, but no-one can know everything.”

Again, read my second post. I do not want to repeat myself.

“which unfortunately no one really writes in this day and age. “Popular frum hashkafa” is IMHO mostly shallow”

Gavra: Not shallow… silly. There’s a difference. Shallow just means it’s elementary. Like 2+2=4. Silly is 2+2=6 because really there’s an extra 1 hidden in each two.

Is there any logical principle or proof (or POSSIBILITY of proof) that leads to this conclusion? If not, I see no reason to accept it.

WIY: If you would be born into a christian, muslim, or buddist societal frame, you’d be saying about yeshu, mohammen and buddah that THEY don’t need our approval and how dare we ever question them. You have not taken the time or energy to think if you really believe in the Jewish frame. You are parroting the stuff you heard from your rebbeim or read in books.
