Famous intellectuals and religion.
Hello Rabbi.
The matter of the above three confuses me in several ways:
1. Intelligence is something that exists objectively. What about the other two things? And if they all exist objectively, then what is the difference? And if they do not exist objectively, then what is their importance?
2. Is it possible to force the last two?
3. What is the difference between intelligence and religion?

- Intelligence does not exist objectively, but is objectively true. A claim does not exist, but is true. Facts exist in reality, and the claims that describe them are true (and do not exist). Regarding the famous, I dedicated a column to this, and there I explained, among other things, that these are norms that are founded on convention, and yet they are binding (there are social agreements that bind us). Regarding religion, you need to explain what you mean. By law? If God exists and commands, it is binding like morality.
- Famous wisdom or halakha can only be imposed on those who deviate from them even though they know it is binding. Those who do not believe in it cannot be forced on them (except perhaps in cases where it causes serious social harm).
