My study group at synagogue includes someone who converted and someone who's questioning their faith and someone who's become more observant and me somewhere in the middle, and our discussions about the texts have become mirrors for our different relationships with belief itself. It's gotten tense in ways that surprise all of us and I don't know if we should address it directly or just focus on the studying.
More people experience this than they realize.
Sacred texts can become battlegrounds where different levels of belief clash instead of bridges where different souls meet.
