It quite strange that you would pass judgement on a belief system with admittedly the knowledge of a 15 year old. No one would ever do so in any other capacity. Would you reject a broad segment of nuclear physics because it doesn’t make sense to you as a layman? There are classic writing going back millennia from the greatest of our nation, with untold amount of ink spilled discussing the nature of Torah Shebaal Peh, the drashos given over to Chazal, the dating of the yomim tovim you mentioned, and the fact that medrashim are not necessarily meant to be taken literally. Rabbeinu Saadya Gaons Emunos V’deios, the Chovos Halevavos, the Moreh Nevuchim, Albo, Kuzari, Hakdama of the Ibn Ezra, Drashos Haran, Ramchal etc. You would go well to reserve judgement until you have gone through at least rudimentary parts of these writings before rejecting concepts that you lack any real familiarity with.
Sometimes the question is half the answer.
It shouldn't be something like nuclear physics.
I did go through the rudimentary parts. I didn't do an extremely deep dive through everything and go through each of the seforim you mentioned cover to cover.
About the disconnect, I obviously didn't mean things that didn't exist during those times. I'm referring to ideals that are timeless.
An extreme example which like you say, an untold amount of ink likely has been written. The story of Dovid and Avishag. Would that fly today? You'll tell me from today until tomorrow that it's to be mechaper for Batsheva in the same place and situation. People were much bigger in earlier generations. Malchus. And I'll ask you the same as before. Would that fly today? Which gabbai would even think of that?
This is the first thing that comes to mind. And I wouldn't even want to use it as an example.
I mainly think of examples of avodas Hashem that should've been amplified throughout everything yet is barely touched on at all.
P.s.
you do seem quite knowledgeable and thought through your yiddishkeit. Others here as well. But you stick out. I respect it. I also appreciate your answers in the other thread about bechira. I do intend to get back to it at some point when I have time and I'm not lazy.
p.p.s.
your username is jye. The opposite of the person upthread eyj. He doesn't seem to be active anymore (unless you're the same person.)
