“But then I think is silly to keep the sexes separated in the manner that some orthodox do.. In many ways these are the same practices that fundamentalist Muslim practice.”
What do you think that Jesus and St. Paul, or any ancient Rabbi, would think of modern-day cheerleaders - often teens - doing all their scantily-clad, erotic gyrations? Is that really compatible with traditional Christian or Jewish morals? I think not.
Why are you making an argument that I never suggested??? You pull a straw man argument out of no where and throw that around like it means something.
IF you wish to live an ‘orthodox’ life then go find an ‘orthodox’ community or country. Religious liberty does NOT mean you get to impose your beliefs on others
