I'm not trying to deceive anybody here, I'm just trying to describe my background. Among the Jblogs, Modern Orthodoxy is broken up into LWMO and RWMO. I was just saying that we were on the LW end of the LW-RWMO spectrum. I agree that the whole MO spectrum is on the far right as compared to the non-O denominations.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-47784003732630697322008-06-23T13:20:00.000-04:002008-06-23T13:20:00.000-04:00Free will verses the illusion of free will strike ...Free will verses the illusion of free will strike me with many parallels attributed to the nature verses nurture arguments.

You could help Barack not answer any real questions. <BR/><BR/>That is a non-answer. Modern Orthodox by definition is ridgid and inflexible and probably one of the reasons you became an athiest.<BR/>There are degrees of Modern Orthodox (which is an oxymoron in itself) but none could ever be described as "liberal".<BR/><BR/>We're waiting.asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237854868544073084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-53313210506214759052008-06-20T13:15:00.000-04:002008-06-20T13:15:00.000-04:00My Meme is up....My Meme is up....CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-35777545756910369232008-06-20T12:26:00.000-04:002008-06-20T12:26:00.000-04:00I mean "left-wing" religiously, not politically, a...I mean "left-wing" religiously, not politically, although the community probably was also more liberal politically than many Orthodox communities are.
