    Why isn’t Judaism the most ancient of all religions if it is the correct
    one or is it the most ancient just wasn’t officially considered a religion?

    Because people had plenty of time to make up religions before Matan Torah.

    How come idolatrous religions are still alive and strong even in this age of understanding?

    Age of scientific understanding, I assume? If you don’t make any claim
    that can be proven or disproven by science, science is irrelevant.
    (Science has nothing to say about right and wrong, for example.)

    Obviously there are many instances where modern medicine is not fit
    to cure and more homeopathic and herbal remedies are necessary and can fix.

    Homeopathy has been thoroughly demonstrated to be based on nothing and doing nothing. (According to Wikipedia, “Although the treatments themselves had no effect, they were far safer than most medical practices at the time [late 18th-19th centuries]. The outcome from no treatment and adequate rest was usually superior to mainstream medicine as practiced at the time of homeopathy’s inception.” So there’s that.)

    Wouldn’t it be strange if Judaism doesn’t have those
    essential secrets but having to rely on other religious wisdom?

    lot of times it’s intertwined and difficult to separate the wisdom from the religion aspect

    One of your examples was medicine, a field we are told
    that Chizkiyahu haMelech took away our knowledge of,
    and your later comment about the difficulty of separating
    religion and wisdom tells me you mostly mean Eastern stuff.
    I’m going to assume that in that category, if we don’t have it,
    it’s either not wisdom at all or it’s not essential for us to have.

    Random- so I wrote an interesting reply but wasn’t posted for whatever funny reason the mods have. Sorry don’t feel like retyping it all. Would have liked to see answers but you know, mods what can you do. There was nothing wrong with my reply so kind of disappointed that its lost thanks to mods.

    Very long posts are hard to moderate and are more likely to not be approved. See https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/moderation-memos-posting-tips-and-important-links#post-612444

    Really mods? My post was so long? Surely it wasn’t as long as the latest post by random. There wasn’t much to moderate I didn’t say anything remotely negative. Was asking why as Jews we would have to rely on non Jewish healing since they have the knowledge for it? Asking why in Judaism we don’t have as much of that knowledge? Is this post also too long because my other post was pretty much the same. Surely not nearly as long as other posts in this topic by others. It’s annoying because you guys don’t care that people invest time and effort to write and with one click you make it disappear for no good reason. Then just have to rewrite the post. At least modify if you think something so bad was written which surely wasn’t the case here.

    Yes we do care, we don’t make things disappear for no good reason, your post was about 1200 characters longer than the long one.

    I doubt it but that’s fine. I’ll try not to quote anyone when I answer them this way they won’t understand what I’m replying to. Now you’ll say the 1200 characters were besides the copy and pasted quotes of other screennames I was replying to. Anyway it’s fine whatever makes you happy. I’ve seen posts which fill half a webpage which you approve. Not sure why this pick and choose game makes you feel so powerful.

    If you have a really long post with nothing too controversial in it,
    you can split it up into multiple posts. (Years back, I think I used
    to make a copy of every post I submitted and then delete it once
    it had been approved, but that’s kind of a hassle.)

    Ya copying and pasting is best option. But in all honesty there have been much longer posts approved. Doesn’t matter now, what’s done is done.
