Do Believers Really Believe? Do Deniers Really Deny?

Some people seem to be believers but are really kofrim [heretics]. Some people seem to be kofrim but are really believers.


Some people believe but their G-d and Torah are a perversion of the real thing. Sometimes they purposely or mistakenly twist the Torahs true meaning in order to meet their selfish self-serving needs. Others live on a low spiritual level and bring the Torah down in order to meet their frame of reference. There are many other examples of believers who don't believe in the real thing. I compare it to a boy who is "redt" a shidduch with the most amazing girl. She has everything and a P.H.D. [Poppa Has Dough]. He gets really excited until he discovers that SHE DOESN'T EXIST. Some people has a distorted perception of Hashem and His Torah so they are believing in something that doesn't exist!:-) 


Others deny the Torah as it is presented to them because it seems small and irrelevant. Since the Torah is really huuuuuge and super-relevant, they are rejecting a false Torah and really believe deep down in something bigger. If they would comprehend the depth and breadth of Torah then they would start believing in practice. These kofrim are really believers.


They once asked Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook what bracha he gives the believers and "chofshiim" [literally "free" and was used to connote secular people].
 He answered that he wishes the believers that they should really believe and the chofshiim that they should really be chofshi....


For this and more of such ideas I send my beloved readers to Maran HaRav's Oros Ha-emunah [known in Israel as Orot Ha-emunah]
