There are and were factual LAWS in Judaism
WHICH Christians FACTUALLY threw out the window as they divorced these filthy, rebellious, oppressed, murdered, Jews.
But how do you determine which tradition 'corrupted' the original 'ur-tradition'? Don't all the surviving traditions represent a 'perversion' of the original ur-tradition? So why is Hellenism any worse than Pharisaism? You are so stupid you are merely playing an intellectual shell game where you don't actually know where the hidden penny or even that a penny is under one of the shells.

Pharisees were made up of these Hellenist, and the Pharisees were perverted by Hellenism. They were corrupt politicians working hand in hand with Romans to keep Rome fat.
Pharisees are out of context to the whole debate of perverted Judaism, or Judaism light. Or Less Judaism.
... these filthy, rebellious, oppressed, murdered, Jews.
Are you quoting Mein Kampf here or is this from your own head?

If you read the text, they tell you quite clearly the battles going on over "LESS Judaism" getting rid of the laws of Judaism, rewriting Judaism whole cloth perverting it as needed.
So you still haven't answered the question. What is the 'pure Judaism' you want to idolize? Do you have a name for this tradition?

Do you have some sources to support this assertion? This is so dumb. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. 'More' or 'less Judaism.' Like Judaism is ketchup being handed out at a diner.
