TFSG under fire again

It must suddenly be in fashion to join TFSG, try and convert us, and the be rude when we're resistant. Here's my reply to the latest:

I'm really not sure what you hope to gain by insulting us as a group.

I have found very intelligent and knowledgable people here who know
Tanach, Talmud, and other general Jewish sources well, as well as
Biblical archeology, DH, etc. I've learned a lot from being here.

When I first started having skeptical thoughts I honestly thought that
there were answers to all my questions. My husband and I wrote a list
of questions and went to our Rav (who I still respect very much). We
asked our questions 100% innocently. He was impressed with my
knowledge of Mishna (he is pretty much UO and doesn't often come
across women who have learned the "hard stuff".) His answers didn't
satisfy us -- they were apologetics. Before we left, he told us to
learn more. Since then I've heard that answer to heretical questions
often.

My questions come from my learning. If I hadn't learned, I wouldn't
have them. You say I need to learn more. When is it enough? How many
hours should we be putting in before you're satisfied that I've
learned enough to be a proper kofer? I've learned Tanach with
mefarshim, multiple siyums in mishna and Gemara, learned lots of
Rambam and Ramchal, and still enjoy reading Rabbi Slifkin, Rav
Soloveitchik and Rav Lichteinstein. I've searched and searched. And
the best answer that I can find is that our tradition, while beautiful
in some areas, is barbaric in others, wildly inconsistent and
therefore likely written by people. Or at best (or perhaps worst)
corrupted by people. Now, if you have a magic book that can prove that
conclusion wrong, let's hear it. But I don't think it exists.
Ultimately you believe what you believe out of blind faith, and I've
lost mine. I don't think it can be retained.

I and most others here are not skeptical because we're lazy. Many of
us are still strictly orthoprax. Just no longer Orthodox. It's not
easy. It involves keeping secrets. It involved restricting yourself in
ways that have no meaning to you. It involves uncomfortable thoughts
about what might happen when you die. For some, it means years of
loneliness, without a friend or relative with whom you can be honest.
It's not a hedonistic, fun lifestyle. It's hard work being a secret
skeptic and it's not something I'd wish on anyone.

So don't sneer at us, even if it does make you feel secure in your
pseudointellectual ideas. It's uncalled for.
