Description

Christianity and Reform Jewry both show off their moral beliefs, but deep down, nothing is really there. All good ideals which non-Jews have come from Klal Yisrael (the Jewish people). In the end, however, non-Jews can’t tolerate holiness, and they end up rejecting it. Religion cannot be based on our own feelings and intuitions. Christianity focuses on "the spirit of the law" without actually practicing any of the practical daily laws which Judaism stresses. The greatest proof to the success of a religion is how well its followers behave.
