I gave some information and I explained what I believe, and I respected that there were other beliefs, that's not the definition of proselytizing. Nor was there any attempt to tell people what to believe, and somehow the word 'propaganda' doesn't fit, either.

Shoshanna, I refer to statements of yours like:
It is not chauvanistic to say that you won't get a proper education or
understanding if you don't learn the material. It is a true thing to say,
that you can't understand Torah from just the written text alone.

As far as archeology and increasing scientific knowledge, over and over again, they
"discover" what Torah, including Oral Torah, and those who taught and wrote
down Torah, taught thousands of years ago and extracted during that time.

I read these as attempts to persuade readers of the validity and absolute truth of Oral Torah.

You give me the impression that you reject out of hand anything that comes from Oral Torah. If that's true, isn't that less tolerant than my position?

I do not consider it authoritative or to derive from Moses, although doubtless much of it is good teaching from godly rabbis. But I am not presenting my position as absolute truth or attempting to convert anyone else to it.
