re: #190 William Lewis

Well what do you know, I’ve been a Jewish orthopraxist for years and didn’t even know it!

I used to share these nuggets of wisdom every year with my Hebrew school classes:

Pray as if everything depends on God; act as if everything depends on you.
Talk minus action equals zero.

At this point, I’m agnostic but my approach is this - I don’t need certainty, my intent is to live as if there is something greater than myself to which I’m accountable.
Also as many of you probably know, there is no hell or eternal damnation in Judaism and I figure the afterlife (again, agnostic) can take care of itself.
