My guess is that the feminazi troll has family problems. The troll's way to "get back" at his/her relative is to spread lies about Judaism's attitude on honoring parents.
No, there's not a single lie in what I posted. I provided a valid rabbinic source and even a verse exactly as it's written. One of the websites I brought up is a scholarly Jewish website that covers various Jewish topics in-depth.
But if Israel Chai is right that the troll is a missionary, I am forced to say the troll is not an ordinary Christian Missionary, but a Missionary for Buddhism, because until recently when the troll posted it was accompanied by a picture with a slogan praising something about Buddhism.
I did not praise Buddhism. The picture you refer to is a picture of Ashin Wirathu, a Buddhist monk who fights Islam in Burma and encourages other Buddhists to stand up against muslim savagery. It was my appraisal of him personally (and not of Buddhism) because of his courage against Islam. It's like saying that anyone who admires Pat Robertson or Jerry Farewell is a Christian missionary.
In any case classic Buddhism discriminates against women, so we see the Troll does not practice what he or she preaches.
And your point is? I doubt you can even provide at least one example of "Buddhist discrimination against women". Besides, do you really think pointing fingers at other religions is such a perfect self-defense? Nope, it's nothing but a childish tactic.
Quote from Ephraim Ben NoachSince the troll first attacked the Torah in general and came up with conclusions about the Rabbis before he/she brought up the current issues, It is obvious to me the troll is raising points just for the sake of attack and not because of a real wish for an answer.
Where did I attack Torah? I attacked man-made laws that preach mother's inferiority to father's. Last time I checked, father and mother are both considered equally important according to Tanach.
You could believe me or not believe me, but I am telling you the facts that the troll is bringing up are lies or misrepresentations out of context of what really Judaism says.
No lies and misrepresentations. Once again, I've provided sources. Here we go again:
"If a person's father tells him: 'Bring me a drink of water,' and his mother tells him: 'Bring me a drink of water,' he should overlook his mother's honor and honor his father first. For both he and his mother are obligated to honor his father" (Rambam, Mamrim 6:14).
Take a quick look over this chapter. Notice numerous passages where only father is mentioned but not the mother. What does it tell you?
I'm just not going to tell the troll why he/she is wrong, because keeping quiet is what I believe the Talmud tells me to do in this case.
Because you can't. What I said is pure fact. According to Judaism, father can even prevent his son from saying kaddish (prayers for the deceased) for his deceased mother:
"A father can protest that his son not say Kaddish for his mother, because the father's honor comes first" (Darchei Moshe 376).
Shulchan Aruch (OC 240:14): If one's father and mother both asked him to bring water, he desists from honoring his mother and (first) honors his father.
R. Akiva Eiger (1:68): If one's mother commanded him to do something and his father protested, he may fulfill her request if refraining would cause a monetary loss, for we hold that one need not use his money for Kivud Av. Even if there will be no monetary loss, this is like divorced parents who both requested water. He may fulfill either first, for she need not honor his father. The same applies after his mother died. Death separates like divorce. Livyas Chen similarly says that one must honor his grandfather more than his father only while both are alive, for then also his father must honor his grandfather. However,
the Beis Yosef (YD 376) says that if a woman commanded her son to say Kaddish for her after her death, and his father protests, Kivud Av has precedence over Kivud Em. The Noda bi'Yehudah says that honoring in life overrides honoring after death, even if the father died and the mother is alive.
This is unlike the Beis Yosef, who gives precedence only because Kivud Av is greater. Rashi (31a DH she'Ben) supports the Beis Yosef. He said that R. Yehoshua said 'I see that you are an orphan. I.e. you do not ask to apply in practice. You just seek to learn.' If death is like divorce, perhaps he needed to know about a request after a parent died, and the living parent protested!
Rather, it is clear that even after death, the father has precedence.http://dafyomi.shemayisrael.co.il/kerisus/halachah/kr-hl-028.htmAnd yet, people here criticize Islam or even Buddhism for alleged misogyny.
