Reply To: Perspective From OTD

I can’t speak for others, but personally I think it would be a little silly to be not frum and live a lie just for the sake of a little pride. If I were in a situation where deep down I was a believer but for various reasons strayed, I would definitely come back. My parents would welcome me back with open arms. They are wonderful people, and I hate that my lifestyle causes them pain. My life would be easier if I went back – especially in terms of family issues. But the truth is that I just don’t believe, and faking it would make me miserable.
