I figured you’d show up. To state that a person who was raised fully frum and decided to walk away from the religion is a Tinok Shenishba is garbage. Dershowitz explained that he left the religion at 29 because he had two children and he didn’t want to burden them with Mitzvahs as it would prevent them from reaching their potential. Sorry that’s not a Tinok Shenishba. And as to what Rav Kook meant that’s not my concern, but it’s ridiculous, because it leads to where Friedman went that no Jew can be punished. To be fair, if Rav Kook meant what you’re saying then you have a right to follow him and I won’t say anything, but I have the right to follow rational Jews like Rabbi Feldman.
