S'lach Lanu Avinu

I should have stopped. I'm afraid that my blogging has provoked him. Now the Noodle Hador has returned to "help" Jews struggling with their Orthodoxy. Here we are, 4 days before kabalas haTorah, and he returns to try and pasul the shidduch! Oh, but I guess thst never happened anyway, right? It's just a bedtime story. Anyway, I am sorry for what part I played in this.

Comments:
Hmm. I called you Lokshenbrains, now I'm the Noodle Hador. Not bad. Definitely better than your 'architected specifically to be non literal theory'. And you did provoke me to come back, so good luck on Yom Kippur.
 
OK I am thoroughly enjoying the whole name-calling thing. If one were to read your posts only, they would miss your sneaky sense of humor.

Also, I have to agree that your kids are very cute.

Long may you both blog!
 
Mine are cuter.
 
>That sounds a lot like Yeshiva Far >Rockaway to me. Did you go there?

No. I like R' Perr very much, though, even though we don't always agree.

>More importantly, do you think >those to "the left" who disagree >with the Slifkin ban are really >heretics?

No, that is just humor. I am not a proponent of the ban either. In reality, I think the charge of "heretic" is used too loosely today and this weakens the seriousness of the term. I don't think either side is heretical...just the Noodle Hador's position.

>In other words, to what extent do >you disagree with GH's style and to >what extent with his substance?

I disagree with his style (complete lack of respect for anyone with a sincerely religous point of view, especially of talmidei chachamim) and his substance (Torah is false but somehow we should be frum anyway).

>And where do I fall out on your >kefirah scale, or Hirhurim or >Wolfman for that matter?
I haven't read your blogs nor that of Wolfman. I'll try to take a look after Yom tov b"n. I like Hirhurim, although I don't always agree.
 
> and his substance (Torah is false but somehow we should be frum anyway).

Hey, you know I never said that.
 
Ok, DBH, I read some of your blog. And here is my psak:

You are not a kofer. You are, however, prolix, which is almost as bad.
 
>Hey, you know I never said that.

You're right. "Frum" is a chareidi thing...you think we should be "Orthodox". Frum people aren't rational and we need to be rational. Of course, according to you, Judaism isn't rational, so we really need to be irrational, too. So I guess we need to think rationally and act irrationally. I'm confused.
