My origin.

You can't eat chicken parmigiana? Ouch.

Nevertheless, according to Judaism, non-Jews have to follow the Seven Laws of Noah. Most Christians and Muslims follow these Laws.

Five of the laws you mention I think most people are pretty familiar with, as they seem to be contained in the Ten Commandments - the others being "to establish courts of justice", which I know that a lot of Christian denominations do, and "not to eat flesh torn from a living animal", which, honestly, I'd like to think most people wouldn't even think about doing. (Well, except in Japan, where some folks are into that sort of thing.)

Most observant Christians and Muslims observe the Seven Laws of Noah. We do not view them as sinners. Jews have many more commandments and much greater reward.

Most people -- Jews and non-Jews will suffer temporary punishment and gain Eternal Reward.

I'm stumped as well? lol

A hobby of mine is genealogy. Like most Americans I'm essentially a mut. lol

Correct!
If you ever get the chance have a DNA test, it’s enlightening easy to do. Your results will probably be the normal for an American, a mixture of Brit, European, with exotic tendencies thrown in the mix.
However! One of the exotics you don’t want is the Ashkenazi Jewish DNA.

German Ashkenazi Jews bred exclusively in their own families for over 400 years, the result is genetically bad health.
This bad health shows up in dna tests….. so! If you do a test and you have Ashkenazi dna….. it’s been nice knowing ya!

I got the Ancestry DNA testing done. I ended up being mainly from North West Europe from old Prussia to Modern day northern France. Not Scandinavia or the Brit Isles. I had a higher concentration of that DNA and the locals who live there today.

As I’m a Brit I have more or less an average result.



Scandinavian, French/German, predominantly north west Europe

As far as not murdering and stealing, most non-religious people observe those, too.

I've been doing a lot of reading in early British history of late, and until recently had no idea how much of an influence - culturally, genetically and otherwise - the Scandinavians had on it. Waves of Saxons, Vikings and others began invading and settling as early as the 6th Century, and of course the Normans (who were originally Scandinavian settlers) in 1066. Even the Celts' origins have been traced back to France, Germany and what is now the Czech Republic. Considering all of that, plus the British royal family's past tendency to intermarry with their counterparts from the Continent, the complaints that arose from some quarters back in the late '40s about Prince Philip - whose ancestry was Danish, German and Russian - not being "British enough" seem pretty silly.

Many people running businesses have no choice but to engage in theft regularly -- that can make up to half of their income.
