As a Jew, I find this thread fascinating. Partially, this is because there are a couple of things I didn't know that have been spelled out. But mostly, it is because it highlights just how much of a role context and perspective have in your world view. I grew up in a relatively Jewish social circle, attended a relatively Jewish college, and now live in a very Jewish part of Pittsburgh (next door to a yeshiva!). I tend to forget that most people aren't as familiar with Judaism as me or my friends. This is a great thread - keep it up Levite!
