Rational Thinker:
Nice job! I appreciate a good argument and but I can’t say you play your cards too well.
You question my unwavering belief in G-d and ask how can I who hasn’t answered for the fundamentals. Be ever so knowledgeable in attempting to refute him.
I for one haven’t answered a darn question.
So here you have it, I am very astute and well aware of the fact that atheists are intellectual seekers.
They happen to be wonderful people. I happen to have cultivated a friendship with a self-proclaimed Atheist. They want to find truth and are very motivated in their agenda. (READ: AGENDA!!)
The clearest and most apropos response is to speak to a Rabbi.
Personally, I have studied a multitude of text related to the fundamentals of Judaism.
My recommendation is given not as a cop out rather as a conduit for further growth and introspection. (READ: I don’t know the source or basis of his atheism)
I hope this message goes to whom it was intended. I truly pray that your Yom Kipper be a day of atonement and self introspection.
For the High Holy Days; I would suggest to go to a synagogue which has a scholarly Rabbi and operatic Cantor who will inspire throughout Yom Kipper.
We all need forgiveness, whether we believe or not!!! (that’s not from me that’s quoted from a legitimate atheist!)
