To tell you the truth, Judaism is a relatively new phenomenon compared to Israel. Judaism was born in exile, after the children of Israel were banished from their Homeland and scattered throughout the lands. In Biblical days, Israel decayed, turning to gods in place of G-d and following in the iniquitous ways of the nations rather than serving as a Light unto the nations. It was then that the House of Jacob disintegrated and the children of Israel were conquered, massacred, and driven into exile. It's true that the House of Israel was Restored in its Land 70 years later, but it is also true that most of Israel remained in exile. Only at the highest point of the second Temple period did one-third of Israel live in its Land, because most of Israel has remained in exile since Biblical times...Till this day the majority of Jews live in exile, scattered upon the face of the earth. And if you were to ask why G-d allowed His people to be so tortured and degraded, I would have to tell you that G-d's people were the ones that tortured and degraded themselves. For it was Israel that banished itself from its Land and distanced itself from its Judge. And if you were to ask out of which people Judaism was born, I would have to say that it was born of an exiled, tortured, and humiliated Israel. Because Judaism is not the religion of free men; it is the rebellion of an enslaved nation. The only thing that has seperated the remnant of Israel from the other nations, is Judaism. The Jews were too weak to regain their Land and rebuild their name, but rather than face utter defeat, Judaism has remained. Yet it would be wrong to say Judaism is a nation, and to say that Judaism is Israel would be all the more mistaken. Israel has become a faith and G-d's people have become merely a religion. It is not reason that guides Judaism, nor is it G-d that makes the laws of peoples' faith. People can believe whatever they want, and a faith is no more than taste, for it is the subject of opinions. Those who bowed down to the gods of the nations when they knew there is only One G-d, are the ones who now bow down to the gods of mankind, while every fool knows they are wrong. And Judaism is not much different from christianity, for both are religions that are the creations of opinions. The gods of Judaism are not material, but nonetheless they are as frail and finite as is the everchanging world. The Jews bow down to ideas and celebrate the success of their perverted creations. This is in large part the product of Hellenism, and the Jews can call themselves Greeks and Romans, and British and Americans, for they are not much different. Judaism is not the Legacy of Israel. The story of Judaism is one of misery and despair. Judaism is simply an Israel in disrepair. The Jewish heritage is a doctine of indoctrination, and the Jewish people have set an example for apathy as much they have stood out for their devotion. And Judaism describes an awkward way of life, for it is overloaded with annoyances and saturated with foolishness, such that it is altogethor seen as a disturbance. It is not uncommon to reject Judaism, even for those who would embrace it. And so Israel has created an annoying habit for itself; running away from G-d more than He is sought. Thus the Jews have lived like fools, bringing destruction to their success and misery to their happiness. I would not insult Judaism were it not an insult to the children of Israel, but in fact the Jews have shamed themselves and Israel has cursed itself. It is because of my people that the Name of G-d has been desecrated and His Laws have laid in waste, because the remnant of Israel does not follow G-d as much as the pagans never knew His Laws. If it were up to me, I'd throw away the Talmud and Mishnah and all the other books of faith, because these writtings don't create distinction; they only bring disgrace. The rabbis have argued over every detail, and if they are the ones who stand for G-d, it is no wonder G-d is seen as a human; just another icon within a carved out form. These rabbis make G-d look stupid. They teach lies and preserve a fallacy when they claim to speak for G-d by making up their own laws. The Talmud is only the predecessor of the christian texts and simply the inspiration for take-over sects. If the Jews think they can do whatever they want in the "Name of G-d," then why shouldn't other people hide behind masks and cover their claims with the shroud of "G-d's Name." All these symbols of distinction are anathema to me, when we try to say we are special while we are no better than anyone else. When the remnant of Israel shows off its mistakes, it only boasts of its failures and exhibits its own disgrace. I see Judaism for what it is, and I'm not exactly Jewish, for I am a man of Israel. I am a Hebrew; of G-d's people. The G-d of Creation is my Keeper and I am the guardian of His Laws. I live for my people, yet I would only die for G-d. It is the soul within me that sets me free. It is the soul within me that is from the Breath of G-d. I will live according to my spirit, as is required of a man of G-d. For all people were Created of G-d, and I am Blessed to have been Created in the "Image" of G-d. This is my Redemption and this is the best of what I posses, for it makes me what I am. When G-d should Demand my soul, I will know it never left His Presence. And what is death if my spirit would return to G-d, when I am already a part of G-d? People only die that are not alive, for death is an expression of their flesh. When their spirit returns to G-d, all they've known withers to dust. But I live on, because I live according to my Source, for I am of the Breath of G-d. Those who live according to G-d are as infintite as is Eternity. But those who have become their flesh will wither like the dust of death. Judaism will cease to be, for it is Israel that is eternal. The Jews have lived a death, but they have survived to return to life. Israel will be reborn according to the Laws of its inception, and it will be Restored according to the Spirit of its Source. But I haven't said anything yet. If you want to read about Israel you'll need to read about the Laws of Israel, which is listed under the heading of "Shabbat Kodesh."
