 From: "Jay F. Shachter" <jay at m5.chicago.il.us> Subject: [Avodah] Normal People Don't Care About Those Things >>Normal people don't care about beliefs.  Normal people care aboutobservable behavior.  Reality is that which can be seen and felt. ..... The part of Judaism thatcares about abstract beliefs that do not manifest themselves inobservable behavior is entirely post-Biblical.<< 
  >>>> Dovid Hamelech wrote   >>Amar naval belibo, ein Elokim a degenerate says in his heart, there is no G-d<< (Tehillim 14:1).
 Sefer Tehillim is not post-Biblical. The idea that the Torah does not care about beliefs is a 19th century Reform canard.
