My God, Elizabeth, a man could never write this column. In the words of the immortal Al Bundy,

“Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women and they hate each other"?

There is truth in some of what you write. But Christianity is not built on Judaism. Judaism in its modern form, as opposed to the religion of Abraham and Moses, is the opposite of Christianity, and in fact stands for the very old Gods you decry here.

Judaism has absorbed the Kabbalah into its core - something which may have happened in Babylon or possibly even earlier in the time of Solomon. Christ's mission (or at least part of it) was the rejection of this. His fight was primarily against Judaism - the Pharisees and Sadducees who had strayed from righteousness then are today's rabbis, and the philosophical/spiritual tradition is unbroken.

And it is precisely from modern, kabbalistic Judaism that both progressive leftism and new age cultism (via Theosophy which is derived from the Kabbalah) stems.
