Is Judaism Too Wrapped Up In Doctrine?

[Honza]

There is something I've noticed about the Judaic Sub-Forum here at SF. It used to be an open place where people could dicuss all manner of aspects about 'Our Father' and Man/Woman and Creation.....

That is until the doctrine began to take over. It started becoming about details. About the Judaic explaination for this or that....This started when Judaic members decided to interpret everything according to the Kabbalah or the Torah or whatever.

My question is; do the details matter? Are they important?

What I find beautiful about Judaism is the broad interpretation. The general story of Man/Woman, God, Creation, The Fall, The Tree, The Devil etc.

Perhaps I'm only interested in what was passed down to Christianity..???!!!

The details don't interest me. So what! I say. Its only doctrine. I'm not interested in the RELIGION of Judaism, but rather in the story of creation which Judaism has to tell.
