Don't be silly, in Jerusalem at passover in the early days of the Roman empire, everyone was Jewish, and messianic mobs formed easily. It is after all the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from oppression. Jewish pilgrims flocked to the city and the city swelled to ten times its normal size every year. it was also a powder keg. Riots against Rome were almost a Passover hobby

Yes, well Christianity was pretty good until Paul came along, because Jesus was a good Jewish boy. Actually, reform Jews, as a rule don't have a set code of laws or punishment waiting if we don't act morally, so we make our own for what's best in a given situation. i don't act morally because i think God will punish me, I do it because I have enough self respect to want to treat other beings wioth respect as well.
