If we assume that there is a religious prohibition even on reading certain materials (and there is such a prohibition, and I’m not talking about materials that cause sexual thoughts, but thoughts of heresy), is there not room to block this from a religious standpoint? To help someone who asks for assistance in preserving his religion by means of various aids?

If you assume that, then act according to your assumption. I don’t assume that.

Tam,
if that’s what you assume, then what are you doing here on this site?…

It can be explained that Tam grows haughty in his heart, saying: I will read and not stray from the path, for he is very mighty indeed; on the contrary, his faith and culture are strengthened when he sees that there are no arguments against it but these. And moreover, he stands in the breach to show all the nations that the arguments are weak, yes weak, and have no substance. And the Lord’s desire prospers in his hand, to understand and to instruct for the moment and for generations, and every kind of judgment relies upon us to save the ram caught in the thicket by its horns. Extol Him who rides upon the heavens, whose name is the Lord, and rejoice before Him.

As for the matter of those doing the blocking, the claim was that if a person believes there is a prohibition involved, and the above falls into the category of prohibition, then it is legitimate for him to help someone who asks for that help not to transgress prohibitions by mistake.
To say that this is silencing is foolishness, just as covering the human body in its forms and movements in every action of life is not “silencing” but preventing a prohibition, and that should suffice for the understanding.

As for Tam himself:
A. There is a difference between words of heresy and words of mockery draped in the cloak of heresy, merely for the sake of ratings and popularity among a petty rabble that thinks it is wiser than everyone else. That is nice to read and even raises a smile. It should be noted that there is also an aspect here of “he ate the fruit and threw away the peel.”
B. Indeed, it would seem that Tam is not sufficiently God-fearing in other matters either, and one should not bring proof from his conduct, whether to prohibit or permit.

Have a pleasant rest of the day, and with the hope that we all return in repentance.
Tam.

Even if he isn’t wiser than everyone else, he does know how to distinguish between “the masses” and “the people of Ammon” (apparently a way of naming the Ammonite nation), so let’s not pile on further.

Hi Moed Forever, I saw your sarcastic response. I don’t know whether you’re familiar with the smart keyboards available to us today that correct things based on previous writing. Have a wonderful day, and thanks for the correction.
