He has acknowledged he has no knowledge of Hebrew, Jewish hermeneutics, or Talmud.
Los Angeles, June 23 – A self-proclaimed opponent of “Rabbinic Judaism” repeated his contention online today that the orthodox followers of the religion, who adhere to strictures specifically imposed to prevent even inadvertent transgression of certain Biblical precepts, also care so little for those Biblical precepts that they engage in sophistry and employ technicalities to avoid upholding those precepts.
An X user with the handle “Truth Bomb” reacted this morning to a post about the Jewish Orthodox lifestyle that showcased several devices that the religiously observant use to facilitate somewhat normal living on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, to avoid violating Jewish law while still accomplishing at least some of the result of the acts that, if a Jew performed them on the Sabbath, would violate Jewish law. He called the phenomenon “trying to trick God,” a remark he made not ten minutes after characterizing ancient augmentations that Jewish law mandates to avoid violations of core Biblical prohibitions as “ascetic extremism.”
“These people think they can trick God, but God can’t be tricked,” stated Truth Bomb, to the echoes of approval from at least eighty other posters who “liked” his comment. Only seventy users liked the post he made before that one, in which the Jew-obsessed man decried Jews for refraining from any mixture of meat and dairy products, when the Bible only specifies a prohibition on cooking a young goat in its mother’s milk. “These people want to be more religious than God,” he spat.
Truth Bomb refused to entertain alternative understandings of either phenomenon; one user attempted to explain to him that the invocation of “technicalities” represents not Jews trying to circumvent the spirit of the law, corrupting it, but a manifestation of close, loving dedication to understanding the precise parameters and purpose of each commandment, a scholarly and devotional pursuit that the person behind the Truth Bomb account dismissed as “woo-woo.”
A similar attempt to explain the intricacies and assumptions behind the exegesis behind the meat-dairy separation in Jewish law fell on deaf ears. “I don’t need any of these apologetics, I know what the text *really* says,” asserted the man, who elsewhere has acknowledged he has no knowledge of Hebrew, Jewish hermeneutics, or Talmud, the last of which he simply knows is a repository of Jewish treachery, supremacism, and perversion, since that is what the sources he prefers to consult call it.
Truth Bomb also left unanswered another user’s question how the man’s Christian faith, which promises salvation through Jesus even for the most depraved, sadistic person, simply by accepting Jesus as savior, does not also qualify as “tricking God.”
