Really, I can't imagine how unpleasant it must be inside some of these people's heads. The unrelenting hatred for everything and anything that relates to liberalism, humanism, and social and gender equality is truly stunning.

In this case, I'm not just saying so because I'd like ot ditch the Orthodox, but because I think they've abandoned a fundamental part of Judaism, the oral scripture, in their (recent, granted) embrace of textual literalism.

It's not a very Jewish stance to take, on their part, so...there you go.

You think the Orthodox have abandoned the Mishnah and the Talmud?
