 Uh-huh. So what do you follow, the laws of the land? Oops, you know 
 where THOSE are descended from, right... 

The babalonians and the pre-christ romans.

No. You're commiting the basic theological falicy (again, in Jewish
terms) of thinking of G-d as a Human. To eff the ineffible. Which is
understandable (especially since Christians HAVE adopted a Human

context.


Yeah - as far as I see, modern moderate Judaism is basically humanism  
with a lot of ancient traditions built-in, sewn up in a cultural  
identity.


Probably why I get on better with Jews than I do with most Xians.
