- Well, here you go. You finally found something that got the person so
- angry that he said something he should not have. Why don't you celebrate
- it by breaking another mitzvah, oh, and don't forget to say that"... it is
- just that Orthodox misinterpreted Torah, that's all, it is not that I
- don't want to observe anything at all." The only thing that it proves
- that David lost his tamper and you were the cause of it.
- You can probably reply the same thing to me as you did to David. I don't
- know about David, but I am a cohen and it is a sin to deliberately make
- a cohen angry (you probably did not know that, did you?), so, don't make
- me. I do understand that if you don't care about things like Shabbath,
- you would probably care less for this little detail, but I just wanted
- to tell you this, so, that you have some jewish basics in your behavior
- with other jews.
-
- BUT when you do get your head out the sand and join the real world, but
- not the goyim, go and learn some Torah. It is much better then getting
- people angry.

- Thanks,
