Individual freedom is a Jewish idea. It is one of the functions of Christianity to make it universal. Jews do not have to be Christians. Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, but too utopian, too hopeful, and too unrealistic a turn. Christians must be Jews. Not a conversion, closer to practice as run from an understanding. The truth of what Christians believe depends on the truth of Judaism, depends on the first covenant. The path of Atonement [at-One-ment] is internal and personal. A tendency of human is to throw out the baby with the bath water. One strike, and you are out, gone, and forbidden re-entry. I worked for a good friend who lived by the rule one awe-shit erases a thousand attaboys. He never handed out attaboys but could find mistakes per second. I lived in four towns and eight houses and attended three grade schools and three jr/sr high schools by the time I was 17. Then I joined the Navy. There was always a pecking order. I began and stayed at the bottom rung until the second town. New kids start at the bottom. Basic decency and common sense are both oxymorons. Each rung of the ladder has a different perspective of right and wrong. What is the essence of antisemitism? Hitler wrote the First Reich ended when Moses brought down the Ten Commandments. His Third Reich is to return the world to the First. We are in the middle of the Third. Islam denies the Ten Commandments. Read the Koran to verify if you dare. Integrity and commitment are weapons of the ego. I recommend dissolving the ego, and everything else will resolve itself.
