Blogging is heresy

Rabbi General's Warning: If you want to maintain your privacy, do not publish your innermost thoughts so the whole world can read them. If you blog, that means you have decided to live your life as an open book. If you play with fire you will get burned. If you blog anonymously, you will be outed. If you are risk averse, don't take risks. If you think this blogging is a sport, then be prepared for the thrills. If you want people to accept you as frum (pious), then don't espouse heresy here or anywhere. If you don't understand that religion is reactionary by definition, then open your eyes and look around you. If you like technology because it changes so quickly, then you probably don't like traditional religion. If you want to be a pious strictly Orthodox Jew, or a credible Christian fundamentalist, then this should be the last blog post you ever read.

Are you this abrasive in real life?

Reactionary? Often. By definition? Not necessarily.

"If you like technology because it changes so quickly, then you probably don't like traditional religion."

Sorry, but I like both very much.

Does this mean that you plan on espousing heresy from now on?
