Okay, the Jewish people have a joint responsibility to G-d. The whole individualistic thing is christian. We recieved the covenant as a national group. So if you break shabbes, you break it not as an individual, but as a member of the Jewish people.

I am not a religious totalitarian, I do not know of any Jewish religious totalitarians, and if you think that halacha dictates a puritanical approach to life, then you are probably uninformed. ... it sounds more like you are misinformed. Which I have said before. The required prenuptual agreement includes a guarrantee from the husband to the wife that he sexually gratify her.

Your third paragraph has three sentences. The middle one is 101 words long. IF I understand it, you're wrong. I've known lots of communists and several who were members of the American Communist Party. What I wrote doesn't sound like them at all.
