Presence

I don't often congratulate myself (well, actually, yes I do). But I just left a really good comment on GodolHador's recent post on "truth." To fully get it, watch the Mormon episode of South Park (the last two minutes are the best; warning: some harsh language, but totally worth it).

If Charedim are guilty of anything, it's a lack of sensitivity to the reality of the world outside their conceptual shtetl, and perhaps a smidgen of misguided enthusiasm. Labeling them as sheker is, however, nothing short of a patent falsehood.
