Wolf, why do you feel the need to be mezalzel (mock) a topic which deserves a serious response.
Why do you assume that I’m mocking anything? I am being completely serious. I have yet to see anyone here who says that it’s okay to eat at the same table as my nieces — which I do fairly often. As such, I openly admit that I am a sinner who is deserving of punishment. If you’re unable to distinguish sincerity from mocking, then you have to take lessons in how to read between the lines.
You’re also making fun of the world to come, by associating Gehinom with hell.
Gehinom is the punishment in the afterlife. Hell is the punishment in the afterlife. Both are used interchangably by many people. I fail to see how I am making fun of the World to Come by a simple choice of words.
Your disrespect for Jewish values, reflects a lack of self-respect.
Here, you are half-right. I have great respect for Jewish values. On the other hand, I have absolutely no respect for myself.
