It is ra<strong>the</strong>r interesting <strong>to</strong> see that for Philipson, a devout<br />

advocate for <strong>the</strong> revolutionary overthrow of Jewish values,<br />

Mendelssohn is <strong>to</strong>o religious a personality for him <strong>to</strong> swallow,<br />

which again bears out how insidious <strong>the</strong> llluminati were in<br />

advocating creeping changes in religion.<br />

Smolensken's evaluation is most perceptive, because he<br />

sees through <strong>the</strong> thin veil of Mendelssohn quite clearly. Even<br />

Christian writers immediately saw in <strong>the</strong> publication of<br />

Mendelssohn's Jerusalem that if Judaism had no dogmas but<br />

only laws, it was no religion, but only a political system.<br />

Schechter, Geiger's disciple; over one hundred years after<br />

Mendelssohn, and who was also a <strong>to</strong>ol of <strong>the</strong> Communist<br />

Conspiracy, decided he could even capitalize on this when he<br />

wrote an essay entitled The Dogma of Dogmalessness, in<br />

which he takes people such as Mendelssohn <strong>to</strong> task for<br />

claiming that Judaism has no dogmas. With such writings,<br />

<strong>to</strong> mentally reject God or <strong>the</strong> dogma that <strong>the</strong> Torah is of Divine<br />

authority, that several Jewish laws will be violated, including<br />

prohibitions of idolatry and blasphemy, as, for example, in <strong>the</strong><br />

Book of Numbers where it is stated (15:31) "If a person has<br />

spurned <strong>the</strong> word of <strong>the</strong> Lord, that person should be cut off<br />

from his people." This means that <strong>to</strong> deny one word of <strong>the</strong><br />

Torah as being of Divine origin makes one culpable for this<br />

sin. Judaism does not differentiate between agnosticism and<br />

a<strong>the</strong>ism. To deny God's Torah is <strong>to</strong> deny God. 41 Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Rabbis decreed that concerning three cardinal sins is<br />

death <strong>to</strong> be preferred over life. They are:<br />
