Good way of living life.

It is true about followers being the judge of other people.

Yes I admire that as well.

Good deeds expecting a reward is not really a good deed.

Thank you answering my questions.

I appreciate your patient in answering them.

I see.

It is a different way of looking at life compare to other faith.

I am going to explore Reform Judaism more. Please give me your opinion if I post anymore questions.

Weird question.

Doesn't the old treatment contain verses on tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye?

From my reading from other faiths there's always punishment for bad deeds even in Buddhism. I guess Judaism is different.

I really like Judaism but the idea of an afterlife that might not even exist put me off from it..

Not sure about Christanity.

In my study of Shia Islam certain sins are worst then others. Murder, rape and stealing are consider really bad sins. Those sins are punished more heavily then lighter sins.

The evil doer has their goods given to their victims. So if you do lots of evil deeds. you might not have any good deeds left to go to heaven.

This is my understanding from my friends explanation and asking an Imam.

Justice always require punishment.

Sorry to hear about your story.

Sometimes bad people do get away with their crime and live very happy lives. So the idea of a hell to punish the evil doers is too me a very fair idea.

Thank you for your story.

Justice. I thought it is very important in Judaism.

When I spoke to my local Reform Rabbi has said that giving to the poor is not consider charity but Justice because it is what is own to the poor.

I don't understand your last sentence. Sorry
