Another reason for me to not like the current Pope

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

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)
