[Avodah] Religion and Falsifiability

[Rich, Joel]

RRJ responded <<Because maybe the A's were by nature worse and so their
current equivalence to B's results is a great difference from where they
would have been without religion!>> If I understand correctly he's
suggesting that we are so vicious that we need the Torah just to keep us
mediocre.  I find that flabbergasting.  Does any one here work in kiruv?

Is it your experience that the people attracted to your operations are
the particularly vicious ones?

I assume you mean RJR (although I was once congratulated on becoming
president of YU :-)). I was simply suggesting that your conclusion,
while attractive, is not compelled since there is an alternative
explanation.
