The Talmud is not the Bible.
And the US Constitution is more Bible-based than you give it credit for. Why do you think the left hates it so much?

Oh yes. America is the new holy chosen nation of the restored one true Protestant religion and Tom Paine and Thomas Jefferson were G-d-anointed "apostles." Why, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are Divinely inspired![/heavy sarcasm]
The Talmud is merely the Oral Torah written down at a specific point in time when it was in danger of being lost. Of course, that probably means nothing to you. Let it just be said that vowels and punctuation are not part of the Written Torah at all, and without the (unwritten) laws on how to write a Torah Scroll there'd be no Bible at all today.
What do you think about Catholics and Orthodox "replacing" the "new testament" with the church fathers and the Summa Theologica???
I’m not being correctly understood here. It’s hard to put all nuances of my beliefs here in a few short posts on a forum.
You and I agree more than you think. You can say Talmud, OT, or whatever other word you want to describe the Law under which the Jewish theocracy existed, depending on the audience.
