Wow!

Check the comments of the last post, and you'll find some wonderful work by the talented Rachel Ann, and the erudite Tuning Spork. This is great stuff folks.

Rachel disusses the fine points of Talmudic law, in a perspective that I've not previously been privy to, and the arduous process of repention forthe Orthodox Jew. I generalized things by stating: or that YHWH will judge them and there's nothing they can do about it so let's just get on with our lives. It seems that my interpretation of the Jewish God was incorrect in regards to absolution. It is possible, but it ain't easy. Atonement is a progression that has been spelled out by the wise Rabbi's of her faith. There's nothing wrong with that. The vast majority of those cat's had their "Stuff" together, and could come up with excellent ways of controlling their population/worshippers.

In accordance to what I've observed, Judaism is the first "One God" religion, and it is the first form of government. It was formed back when the term "government wasn't even devised yet, and it was filled with so many scholars that it couldn't help but come up with a book as filled with good sense as the Bible.

I'm a bit too drunk to carry on with my thought process, so I'll sign off now, and continue shortly.
