I also haven't read the Talmud, but there are YouTube videos of people reading the pedophile part, so you could find that and then jump straight to the relevant part. I'd be interested in knowing if its really there, and if it still means that if included in its surrounding context.

I'm a green highlighter kinda guy, myself. Lol. And I get that, I'm constantly juggling whatever my modern read is, currently A People's History of The United States, and the new testament. The former has got me questioning the motives of the new world along with the latter realizing that Christ's job was a tedious one, and that he didn't come here to bring peace, as he plainly stated, Luke I believe making that case the clearest. That and how many times he called out the pharisees like in Matthew 23:2-12. Acts 6 and 7 stand out, where Stephen quotes God in Act 7:40, saying the Israelites, Jews, manufactured their gods and their traditions, blatantly contradicting the first comandment. It gives a clear indication that God did everything He could for the Jews and all of humanity, and so many, Jews included, refused to listen because of ego, hubris, whatever. It's largely why I began to read, to understand the nature of the fights and the corruption we see today. I've always been curious of the other faiths, but the links you made across each path to divinity really drove me to begin my search in more than the one book. The rumors about the talmud did that too, along with finding out that Christ was also considered a profit in Islam. If that ends up being true, I'm going to have serious contention with the idea that Israel is "our greatest ally in the middle east". I already know that islamic extremism is retribution for American intervention, but I want to know for myself that Israel is actually leading that charge and driving the division we see today. That and the search for turth does not end with a single book. I doubt God only sent his message through one man, tho I absolutely have a bias for Him.
