Rabbi worship - Reflections on the Dybbuk comments

I discovered a common theme or element within most of the opinions of the religious Jews who commented on Dybbuks. (demon possession) Their opinions seem to be formulated by what their Rabbi tells them is true. It's basically a form of Rabbi worship.

Years ago, I began to think that most of what now passes as Orthodox Judaism is just people following a shit load of rules that some old Rabbis made up throughout the centuries. None of the rules and regulations that the Orthodox adhere to are even mentioned in the Torah.

Where did they come up with all these rules? The ORAL Torah. The rulebook. Basically it is a bunch of Rabbis arguing and making up rules based on what they THINK their GOD really wants. (You know, their god is an idiot and can't communicate properly with his creation)

So, naturally, since they know that their Rabbis created all their rules and regulations, they worship the Rabbis. They will never admit this though because worshipping anything other than their jealous HaShem is a no-no.

But they do, as the comments on my previous post suggest. There is a lot of Rabbi worship going around.

My father: Marty and I never had an easy time getting along. From childhood on, I never respected him. I have probably called him every insulting name in the book over the course of my 39 years on this planet. But NEVER did he stop speaking to me.

Marty partook in just as much of the argumentation with me as I did with him. He always had the choice to back down and shun me but whatever we argued about was eventually put aside and forgotten through the course of time.

Recently, when I wrote my feelings about Rabbi Avi Weiss (a few months ago) and his role in my mother's hospitalization and death, my father got so angry that he hung up on me. He said that he is too angry to even talk.

And he hasn't spoken to me since. All because I insulted a Rabbi. - - Not even his Rabbi, just some asshole Rabbi Avi Weiss from Riverdale, NY.

That is abominable Marty.
