re: #4 Sergey Romanov

I would agree that the Torah (where I’m most confident in my understanding) is grossly misunderstood. And his argument is indeed a poignant critique of established religious interpretations. Unfortunately, I think he’s beating a straw man. On the other hand, this straw man gathers lots of money and influence. Tough call on the proper course of action.

Personally, I would like the Torah to be properly understood. But the Weltanshauung is far from that point of understanding.

For instance, there really isn’t an accurate English translation for Weltanshauung. It becomes a completely baffling term. Such is the case with the Torah.

Hey, but if this is someone’s best strategy for dealing with Westboro, best of luck to the guy.
