That he really needs God’s help.

According to K”t, does the donor have reason to hope for God's help?
Could the Rabbi expand a little to clarify his position?
PS: I am completely confused

Benjamin, I don't understand what you want from me. Psychoanalytic analysis of Bibi (does he believe or not)? Did I consider the help of the ’? I've already explained it to the point of exhaustion.

The Rabbi says this from the method of his synthetic a priori approach, which is that in order to invent something that did not come into the world and cannot be deduced from any information in the world without the act of inference, one requires belief in the existence of metaphysical things, for example, ideas or a spiritual world of information open to humanity, God, etc.
But the Rabbi believes in the approach of those who claim that a significant portion of our information comes from the ? like those tens of thousands of scientists who claim that the information came to them almost as a prophecy in a flash.

I didn't understand anything, especially not the connection to this thread. If there is a question in what you said, please open a new thread for it and explain what you mean.

“Bibi was with me almost every Friday, and once he explained to me for nearly two hours that there is no God, and that this is a stupid invention”, Mane wrote on his Twitter account. “He took a pen and raised it and said: ‘This is God'”.

Rabbi, I meant the method of Prof. Benjamin Fine in his book The Poverty of Heresy, as I understand it.
Aaron,
Why do you think that one witness is more reliable than the confession of a litigant?
And there are many yeshiva students in all kinds of yeshiva who are privileged to “see” God through the door or the voice, etc.
I don't know what that means, but I heard about someone through the voice and I was privileged to meet a person who recognized him through the door.

Benjamin, your question is, is there any value in the statement of a person who is not a believer/agnostic? (Or at least not religious like Bibi)
I think you understand that according to the Rabbi, no..and I think that Bibi doesn't take this statement as seriously as you do.
Why does he say it? Maybe there are moments when he is satisfied and thinks that the existence of God is indeed real..If you ask the Hasidim, according to their method, every Jew deep down inside does believe and this is probably the stage where Bibi's Jewish spark comes out..Rebbe Kook, may have called it part of the process of redemption. To clarify all the methods on the subject, I recommend that you ask Rabbi Sh. T. Levinger, may God be pleased, or open a thread on the Chabad website's answer section, since Michi's method on the subject is clear.

Rational peace (relatively), indeed my intention was to ask Rabbi Michi whether his method has value in hoping for "God's help", I wanted to make sure that his answer was indeed negative.

Benjamin, how come you came out as anti-Haredi? And you're from the Har Nof neighborhood, which is full of Americans and people who illuminate religion with a precious light, not a dark one, as is the custom of important avrechims.

Dadi, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall be no light, and the precious things shall be frozen [and frozen]” – Zechariah 14:6
