Rabbi, I have a personal problem.

Rabbi, I truly believe in the value of serving God according to the yoke of Torah and commandments, but the problem is that I’m constantly told that it’s irrational and that it’s just bullshit, and they ask me why I believe it and that it’s irrational, and they laugh and claim that it’s basically as if they’ve shared my brain and I have nothing to answer them for, and in the end you say to yourself, maybe they’re right, and in the end I fall.
From your vast experience in dialogue with infidels as well as coaches, do you have any advice to advise me on what to do?

You must distinguish between two types of questions: 1. Skepticism – maybe what you think is wrong? 2. What you think is difficult and illogical. There is no way to deal with type 1 questions. Even when I answer you, you may doubt my answer (maybe what I think is not true?). Therefore, as someone who does not believe in skepticism, I am not bothered by such questions. After all, you can ask them about everything they think, and maybe it is just a hallucination. Type 2 questions assume there is a difficulty and require logical arguments. Here you must think about whether your position is more logical than their alternative or not. In my opinion, it is much more logical. They themselves live in a movie and ignore very logical considerations (such as those detailed in my first book). In short, their question is of type 1, and raising such questions is very little wisdom. As mentioned, similar questions can also be directed at them and anyone. In my opinion, they are brainwashed because they ignore logical arguments (I assume they haven’t even seriously considered them), and dismiss them with their mouths. I can only conclude with the words of the Shulchan Arba at the beginning: “And let him not be ashamed before those who mock him.”
