Has anyone seen The God Who Wasn't There? It's pretty interesting.

Here the wikipedia link...

I know, hence the ";)".

Still, he is a creepy Nazi Pope. Plus his social views make Ann Coulter look like Al Franken in comparison.

Then my feelings are reasonably predictable.

I know someone here posted it soon after the election. At least I think LoT was around. It was on some board we were haunting.

The reason the sacrifices aren't done any more is because there's no more Temple. Same goes for our own high priests. We had our own "pope" style set up, back in the day, and that ended when the second Temple was destroyed and the Dome of the Rock built in it's place.

If the Temple still stood, Judaism would be a whole 'nother deal...

My point was, if we're going by accuracy of transcription, Torah has been transcribed by hand precisely for over 5000 years. So if that's the measure of whether something's worthy of belief...

Precisely!

If the Temple still stood... would you still be Jewish? I mean, how would you feel about adhering to your religion under those circumstances.

(just curious, this isn't really relevant to the discussion)

Also... how does the lack of the temple nullify sacrifices? Didn't the early prophets built altars wherever? (I'm not challenging you here, I'm actually dead curious as to how Judaism changed from then to now)
