Don Krausz taken to task for ‘sublime Creator’ quote
Can Don Krausz be serious in his letter in Jewish Report of January 23, titled: “Remember that blood is thicker than ink.” He says: “How can any entity as sublime as the Creator be insulted by mere mortals”?
Michael Levy
Krausz clearly needs to re-read the sublime Creator’s own injunctions to him as a “mere mortal”. Here are just a few of the better-known ones, to which the Creator takes, if not “insult”, at least extreme exception:-
The apparent horror of Muslims for pictures of Muhammad (whether satirical or even complimentary) may well have derived from: You shall not make for yourself a carved image… you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your G-d, am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me… (Commandment #2)
Homosexuality is nothing less than an “abomination” to this “sublime” Creator.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (Leviticus, 20,13).
Sublime, indeed.
