Would it help to clarify these issues outside of what seems, to an outsider, the Jewish centric worldview?

For one thing, there are centrifugal and centripetal dynamics going to the heart of every society, even life itself. Even the physical reality.

The anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement.

Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

Synchronization coalescing, radiation harmonizing.

Every culture, not just Judaism, has its ideals. The code, creed, heroes, narratives that form the center of gravity. Without which they would break down and dissipate. Tower of Babel.

Yet ideals are not absolutes. Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The universal, on the other hand, is the elemental. The essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through and animating the film, than the narratives played out on it.

Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The family and cycle of life as godhead. The young god born in the spring, to the old sky god and the earth mother. Though by the age of the Olympians, Zeus didn't give way to Dionysus. Tradition prevailed over renewal. Much as the old are loathe to give way to the young.

Which provided fertile ground for the story of Jesus to spread far and wide. The Revolution.

To the Ancients, monotheism equated with monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. Ancient Israel was a monarchy.

Though when Rome adopted Christianity as state religion, 300 years later, it too had started to calcify, so it was the monotheism that served to validate the Empire rising from the ashes of the Republic.

While the origins of the Trinity were shrouded in the Holy Ghost, as the Catholic Church didn't go for renewal, or women, for that matter.

So monotheism provided the eschatological basis for the next 1500 years of monarchy. Divine right of kings. The Big Guy Rules.

When the West went back to democracy and republicanism, it required separation of church and state, culture and civics.

The problem with making some Almighty God the moral policeman, was that as fear of God died, the Will to Power rose to fill the void. Basically Might is Right.

Morals are not absolutes, or they could not be transgressed. Like a temperature below absolute zero. They are ideals, the creed and code of a healthy society. Which at its core must be collective responsibility, with rights as reward. When rights are ordained and responsibility is optional, everyone is grabbing their slice and running. Tower of Babel.

So now the locus of our culture is the communal tokens of exchange, the money. The medium has become the message.

I could continue, but the fact is that it is no longer the Bronze Age and we have to grow up. The tribal group hug is sweet, but it's for the children. It takes a village. Responsibility.

We are simply at the point of reductio ad absurdum, for the old world.
