I am not out to dictate to the world. I am arguing if somone, anyone agrees we are all humans, then the idea that a religion/god makes us different, I do object to that logic.
"So what" in what context? If she returns to her Jewish faith, not a damned legal thing I can do, nor would want to do to stop her.
But in terms of logic, which if you would read my prior post, makes no logical sense. I am sure it makes her happy, but that doesn't make it provable.
I have seen plenty of people in my life who are weekend worshipers, or holiday worshipers, OF MANY religions, who don't go regularly, and don't follow the traditions, whom, upon sudden stress fall back into it. I have a family member who came out to me almost a decade ago being a former Christian, called herself an atheist. Earlier this year she unfortunately lost both her adoptive parents on top of getting a divorce. Now she claims she is "Knights Templar" Christian.
If you read my prior post, the lady on the show said that she had gone through a bad breakup. Trauma causes humans to seek out comfort. It does not mean what they seek comfort from is provable.
She found a placebo, she did not find a provable truth that is universal.
And the thing about placebos is that they work. Suppose your doctor gives you a gelatin capsule and tells you that is a world class headache cure. You take it and your headache goes away. It doesn’t matter that gelatin has no analgesic properties. In precisely the same way, this woman’s return to Judaism has helped her to be happy. Why is that even an issue for you?
