Rebdoniel- it is easy for you to say that because you chose this. Now imagine if you hadn’t. If you were born following Torah. And then all the people around you who supposedly keep Torah hurt you (in any way, you can fill in the blank) Now if that were the case, what would you think? That religion must be the best way of life? No, you’d want to be as far from religion as possible. Additionally, if someone hates the situation they are in (ie. their family situation) naturally they will be upset because there is little they can do to change it. That person may think well I wasn’t given a choice in how my life will be. Why does God get to choose how I should run my life. Which, if you think about it is the same as no taxation without representation. So yes, they know what they’re doing is wrong. But the injustice in their life is what leads them to throw away religion. If you can’t understand that, please just keep your mouth shut.
Sorry if this is kind of a mess, hope people understand my point.
