asked 4 years ago

Have a good week.
 
It is well known that your position is that the actions of a person who does not believe are not defined as a mitzvah. Indeed, the explanation for your words is given.
 
Indeed: Is there an explicit source for this in the Talmud? Is there a statement in the Shulchan Arutz Sheva that a person who does not believe in his commandments is worthless?
 
I spoke with a friend who said that since the interpretation is like this, then since “God is not perceived as a moral or obligatory domain like our logic – it is possible that He also considers these actions a mitzvah,” I replied to him that it is possible, but as long as he does not provide a source for this – he has the burden of proof.
And for myself, I ask, as mentioned: Is there also a source other than what is believed?

As you wrote, the burden of proof is on those who say the opposite. If you are looking for a source from the early days, see Rambam, Chapter 10, Chapter 11. I elaborated in my article on ‘causing a secular person to commit a sin’:
