My dad, who was only vaguely theistic but had a very good knowledge of the old (and new) testament used to go to Torah study and argue with the Rabbi whenever a point of contention came up.
It resulted in good entertainment for my mother.
sounds like a fun time.
I love a good debate. (like. not an angry debate, but a seriously good discussion.)
It would definitely not have been angry. They liked each other. The Rabbi came over for dinner all the time and stuff. It was weird, his religion was only vague deism and my mother is an atheist but they both got super involved in the temple in their old age, long after I had moved away. My father is no longer with us, but my mother still goes every week. She was even president of the temple for a while. But if you asked her, she would say, "I don't believe in any of it."
I definitely get it. There's a distinct lack of 3rd spaces, which is necessary for finding community.
also, wasn't saying it was angry, just... saying I love a good discussion. I totally get that. Props to the rabbi, too,
I didn't think you were, no worries.
I would watch at least an hour of this on YouTube
I would too. I only heard about it. He was a professor, so he knew how to argue.
