But, things HAVE been changed! The bible itself has gone through enormous changes (the fact that a book called "The Bible" didn't even exist 2000 years ago is just the tip of the iceberg). The "rules" have changed, morphed, developed and gone by the wayside over 2000+ years. Such is the nature of mankind.

One must also remember that the "Bible" is but a shadow of what it was originally and has been rewritten and had many parts discarded by old white men.

I don't know nearly enough about it to say yeah or nay. However, when at one point in my life I was searching for an outlet for my spiritual yearnings, Judaism appealed to me most early on (though as many know, I have since started practicing Wicca, a form of Paganism).
