Neither lowering nor raising
I saw that you were already asked about this not long ago, but in any case, I didn’t quite understand what you were thinking.
The Shula in Yod Kanah writes in the book of the Mini Israel, and they are those who work for idolatry, or who commit offenses to provoke anger, even if they eat carrion or wear a shaitan to provoke anger; then this is an infidel; and the heretics, and they are those who apostatize in the Torah and prophecy from Israel, used to kill in the Land of Israel. If he had the power to kill with a sword, in public, he would be killed. If not, he would come with lies until he had his death. For example, one of them saw that he had fallen into a well and the ladder was in the well, and he first removed it and said: I am anxious to lower my son from the roof and return him to you, and similar things. He said: (And look at the Hosheen of the Law, sign 555). Converts who would convert themselves to rapists and defile themselves among idolaters to worship idols like them, then they are like converts to provoke anger and would lower them and not raise them.
You wrote that the reality was different. Why assume that they once thought that the G-d of Israel was true and his Torah was true, but I want to be with the poor and mistaken Gentiles, and today the situation is different? Today the situation is different, thanks to them. Today it is very difficult to reach the level of a captive baby. All knowledge is available, a person with a hint of curiosity and honesty is supposed to hear about the Jewish religion, and to the best of my judgment also reach the correct conclusions (keeping the T.O.M.C. of course)
Today’s Dalalshim (at least according to the sample I know…) know that there is a religion, but they don’t have the strength to observe it, nor to inquire. And let’s assume that there is a difference between the periods, who said that this should also affect our attitude towards them? They practically deny the existence of the Creator, the Torah, the prophecy, and the truth of the prophecy of Moses, so why aren’t they considered heretics? Claiming that this is anarchist halakha is fine, but one can say that about all parts of the Shulchan Arba’ah without justification, and join our Dalalshim brothers…
