Keep Spreading The Word!!

What is going on in the world??? 

We, the Jews, spread the message of monotheism to mankind, yet we see today that there are so many atheists in the world and even in the great America. So what did we accomplish??? 

We accomplished a LOT!! 

1] All of those people who do believe in One G-d. 

2] Even those who don't believe often talk about it a whole lot. We put the idea "out there" and compelled people to think about it. Even that has value. A marriage is in much worse shape if the couple is not talking than it is if they are fighting.... 

3] Even in those who remain deniers רח"ל there are still traces of belief. The very search for morals and goodness, which is a hallmark of modern Western culture, is an outgrowth of Jewish values. Also [as others have noted], the entire philosophy upon which the United States was founded [what they call the "Judeo x-tian ethic"] enabled people to deny G-d. The notion of human freedom and dignity, very Jewish values, allow people to express opinions contrary to the very basis of their opinions. In other words, the Jewish values allow people to express their opinions freely, then they express opinions saying that there is no G-d רח"ל. But even that opinion is predicated on the fact that there is a G-d.   

4] The notion of monotheism impacted people in subconscious ways and made the world a better world. 

SO KEEP SPREADING THE WORD!!!

Bi-lashon HaRav ztz"l: 

אין להבהל כלל, אם אחרי עבור תקופה ארוכה של פעולת ישראל על עצמם ועל העולם, ישובו המחשבות של הכפירה להתפשט בעולם - א"כ צדיק מה פעל. כי אין עיקר תיקון העולם ניכר במה שמתבטא בפה ודבר שפתים, עיקר הדבר תלוי בעצמות שכלול החיים ופנימיות הנפשות, באדם, ובחיים המתפשטים במלא כל, ובזה אין לשער כמה נתפתח העולם, וכמה אמת צדק ויושר מונח הוא בתוך עצם חיי הנפשות, יותר ממה שהיה בימים הקדומים שאור ד' לא פעל בעולם. הפנימיות היא דעת ד' ואור ד', אפילו כשהיא מתגלמת בלבוש של כפירה.

[קובץ א' קע"ז]
