The larger problem is that @Smapti doesn’t really have any deep understanding of the Jewish traditions from which the Kabbalah emerged, and so his musings on it come out as ill-informed, naff, and even offensive to scholars who have spent years studying at yeshiva to understand both the mundane and esoteric aspects of Talmudic interpretation and study of mishnah as relates to both Jewish belief and cultural life. He gives the appearance of skipping all of that in order to dive head-forward into the more fantastical aspects of Lurianic Kabbalah. I personally don’t care because I’m not religious and don’t have any traditions or beliefs to be offended about but I can certainly understand how someone taking a nickel tour through your belief systems without even bothering to check their ‘research’ with someone who actually has studied in this tradition can seem offensively obtuse, especially when making comparisons like this:
If someone made an images of Sylvester the Cat up on the Crucifix saying “Sufferin’ succotash!”, I’m sure many Christians would be offended at both the desecration of their core iconography and the lack of decorum or respect in how fundamental what that representes is to their belief. That doesn’t mean that someone shouldn’t use that imagery in service of a particular message–personally, I think “Always Look On The Bright Side of Life” from Monty Python’s Life of Brian effectively eviscerates the seriousness that Christians take in the religious traditions and institutions built around their core myth while actually treating the personage of Christ with utmost respect–but you also shouldn’t be surprised when some people find the treatment of their cherished beliefs opprobrious.
I’m sure this seemed like sage wisdom to you when you wrote it but…it’s not.
