Well it would have been had I been around to participate

Nothing like opening a fresh can of worms

Why not dive in now?

I haven't the time or the required internet capability

I'm coming back to Melbourne later this week though, maybe then I'll share my thoughts on the subject (and watch all hell break loose lol)

I wasn't aware hell was a tenet of Judaism? Your time in Israel has not tempered your religious dogma? That is a shame...

If you've just joined us and don't want to read the whole topic:

Atheists: Evolution suggests that we share a common ancestor with apes and we weren't jus 'created' as the Bible/Quran/etc says.
Creationists: THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION
Athiests: There's no evidence for a God
Creationists: But...but...the Bible says!

Of course hell is a tenet of Judaism. Check Maimonides' 13 Principles of Faith.

As for Israel 'tempering my religious dogma', I'm not here on holiday, I'm here to learn. I sit and learn Talmud for 10-12 hours every day over here, and you think this will temper my beliefs? Ha, good luck with that

Saying religions are made-up without actually looking into religions is ignorance..

Such a shame. I thought you were enlisting in the IDF with Chavi. I guess your indoctrination is so well completed by your family and community that you'll more than willingly subject yourself to more of it in absurdly high doses. How disappointing.

[bomb]

Oh oh, I've got a good question now mainly for Christians.

So the 'virgin' Mary gives birth to a baby and tells you she's a virgin. Now if someone you knew gave birth to a child and told you she was a virgin would you believe her?

Lol no, Golders Green. Stamford Hill is not really my kind of my place, even now

Not into the IDF idea right now. Various reasons.

As for 10 hours a day of learning being an 'absurdly' high dosage, clearly you haven't heard of Rav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv who learns Torah for 20+ hours a day at the age of 101..

We can but aspire

Religion/contention aside (I personally do not think much of what this thread as become)

As for 10 hours a day of *insert any activity here* being an 'absurdly' high dosage, clearly you haven't heard of *insert name* who *insert any activity here* for 20+ hours a day.

We can but aspire

That specific argument may not hold

I'm not making an argument of any sort. I'm simply pointing out that my 'dosage' however high it may be, could be and should be so much higher.

Should be?
You want to learn Torah for 20+ hours a day? ......

[Yitzi_K]

Like I said, it's something to aspire to. Learning Torah is the greatest of all G-d's commandments, and is the primary purpose of a Jew in this world. That being the case, the more the better, even beyond 20 hours a day if possible.

[bomb]

That makes no sense. God's commandments are to tell you what to do in life right? So you spend 20+ hours a day learning these commandments and the rest sleeping and eating....

OR

You could cut back to 20 minutes and live some kind of life.
