There's a new "horror" movie out right now called Heretic that's been getting a lot of attention. But the main horror of the movie is really just how insulting and condescending the whole thing is to Christians.
The movie is about some psychopath who locks a couple female Mormon missionaries inside his house and then spends almost the entire 2 hours just having him "debunk" religion and try to convince the missionaries to question their faith. I haven't been able to find any confirmation on the background of the film's creators, but there is one scene that is laughably biased in favor of Judaism.
The old man starts telling the missionaries about the history of monopoly and how it was just another iteration of an older game called The Landlord's game. You see, the Landlord's Game was made by a smart and hard-working feminist, and then some mean sexist man plagiarized it and created Monopoly and didn't give her any credit. Then he starts giving examples of how modern songs were sued for copyright infringement because they plagiarized melodies from older songs, and he uses these as an analogy to say that Christianity and Islam plagiarized off of Judaism.
Judaism was the OG monotheistic religion. But if they were the first true monotheistic religion, then why are they only 0.2% of the world's population? Well it's because they don't advertise their religion like Christians do.
The Guardian even put out an article praising the movie's realistic portrayal of Mormonism and citing some totally real Mormons who thought the movie was amazing and very realistic.
The entire public image of Judaism is that of misinformed Protestants who believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a practitioner of Judaism. As it turns out, Jews are in no hurry to correct this bit of bad history. The religion of the ancient Hebrews is extinct, and its place taken by Talmudic Rabbis. And while Jews may quibble about the details and the significance of certain historical events, no Jew has brought a sacrifice to be offered up by a priest of the Levitical line since 70AD.
The "religion of ancient Hebrews" is the still-ongoing faith of Christianity, but all your other points are accurate. The jews of today and of antiquity are almost completely different.
Of course. I believe that, but even for Christians, there is good reason to distinguish between the the religion of the ancient Hebrews and its fulfillment in the incarnate Godhead. In fact, when discussing Judaism, it is essential to draw the distinction.
It's a technical thing to be sure. The "true israel" as described in the bible has always been the same religion, but it takes a familiarity with Christianity that isn't universal to be aware of that fact.
