No, no, not trying to be oppositional at all, just interested. Sorry if I made it look the wrong way. I’ve read parts of the Babylonian Talmud, not the whole thing, and I would agree with your points. Not to mention the parts like those where they act like demons are real things that exist, and prescribe a method for how to see them.
Interestingly, lots of the differences between the new and old testament are also differences between the Torah and the Talmud, eg demons, heaven and hell, interpreting the biblical laws differently (although obviously the new testament takes it much further).
