Faith in God
I don’t know how to copy links, but there was something on Facebook by Rabbi Ilai Ofran about faith that captured my heart, so maybe the Rabbi or someone will post the link.
Maybe the rabbi is willing to discuss his words because we see important things.

Well, I read it. I don't agree at all, but I've written entire books about it (especially the first stanza). And I especially disagree with the last paragraph, that when someone asks such questions, one should be interested in their mental state and give them warmth and love. This is outrageous and the father of all sin. I also argued about this at the beginning of the first stanza.
Here he suffers from the mistakes of his grandfather, who confuses a first rational with an arbitrary assumption, and also assumes that there is no possibility or reason to discuss it. These are two mistakes. But as I said, I went on about it in a good way.
The mental state is attributed to someone who wallows in these questions for years and does not continue in parallel with their lives (studies, career, family) with any combination of them successfully. Someone who actually withdraws from the circle of life, that is, who is flailing around like a depressed person, may very well be truly depressed, although of course there are those without it. In my opinion, this is also true.
And what about those who suffer from a lack of depression? Those children who walk around with a smile on their faces and suffer from joy and happiness? Who will support them and explain to them that their psychotic perception of life and their delusional self-confidence are based on hallucinations and intensive brainwashing designed to prevent them from asking questions and wondering about the meaning of things, in other words, from growing up stupid?
I would suggest diagnosing those who do not ask themselves whether their belief is correct. How can a person afford to live without questions? And if we want to use ”professional language” we can diagnose them with ”false self”.
