>>507237495 (OP)ive been studying the talmud recently so that i can accurately refute the "youre misinterpreting the text" claims. the hardest part about talmud study is that a lot of it is religious "case law". they have their books on religious law and lawyering rabbi commentary about it, disregarding the ethic/moral discussion as its a halakhic and not aggadic.
still studying, but for now, im disappointed that, in some circumstances, they may be right about claiming misinterpretation. if theyre lawyering about their own religious law and discussing cases/defining its usage... its kind of funny in a way, because it means theyre being jews about their own religion. it makes a lot of sense actually. the one religion that would do something like this, where you have to interpret a book from a law lens and not a moral/ethical lens, of course it would be the jews.
really disappointed in coming to understand that. still fresh in my research, im trying to find aggadic links or modern halakhic interpretations of some folio or daf. its not easy.
best example about what im talking about is the 3 year old girl rape thing, ketubot 11a/11b iirc. the most you could question is "why was this a law in the first place", and the context of that is its a written down law from 2000 years ago where a lot of the world had similar caselaw/legalities regarding marriage and arranged marriage for children that young.
thats an extremely gay and copium filled answer. i hate it. but, it looks like thats actually how it is. so you cant use ketubot 11a/11b against them, except for questioning why they dont have specific aggadic text referencing it and condemning the practice. they may but i cant find it, best i can find is that they have aggadic text stating its already forbidden in multiple places, so why muddy up halakhic and aggadic text?
im hoping to find some evidence that isnt so gay and jewish. i still feel like this its the "response we give to gentiles". ugh
