Jews have certain laws given to them, non-Jews have certain laws given to them, and at the end of life we'll be judged

Sounds like just another variant on "all who do not choose our way are going to be dealt with harshly." Even you acknowledge that a non-Jew can indeed choose, even if you ascribe no obligation to it.

My remarks on atheists being anti-Christian were not meant to leave out Jewish people, most of us are not anti-Jew, either. It's just that I usually get into tussles with Christians (or, Chr*stians, if you prefer--I don't know what you folks think you're accomplishing by leaving out letters in words) on this forum.

You misunderstand. Non-Jews are not in the least obligated to convert to Judaism (in fact, they are discouraged from doing so). However, they are obligated to observe the Noachide Laws, the first of which, against idolatry, obliges a belief in HaShem, the True G-d. This applies to you too. No "salvation" is offered. You are merely statutorily obligated as a Noachide to obey these laws (and everyone in the entire human race either Jewish or Noachide).

I fail to see why you object to the threat of punishment to the unbelievers/disobedient. Life is full of the threat of punishment. Perhaps you are offended by G-d doing the punishing? Who had you rather do it?

I leave out the letters to avoid spelling out the names of false "gxds." If you have ever read your Bible, you know that HaShem is a Jealous G-d. J*sus was a hippie wimp.

It is unfortunate that chr*stians think that all arguments for the existence of the Biblical G-d must be arguments for chr*stianity, but they are not alone at fault. When atheists attack G-d, even the Jewish G-d, they always hold chr*stianity responsible. Personally, I resent this.

My experience has been that atheists like to pose as the great defenders of the Jewish People even as they attack Jewish ideas and misattribute them to chr*stianity. Again, I resent this. If you are opposed to belief in G-d, then don't pick on some people while loudly defending the same religous beliefs in others.
