According to Orthodox Judaism, both Jews and non Jews are required to believe in the existance of a monotheistic G-d who created the world and is without substance or form. The blanket statement that Jews and non Jews must believe the same things and the only difference is the the level of laws commanded is not correct. I do not think that non Jews are required to believe that G-d gave us the Torah at Sinia, for instance. Avi Feldblum AT&T uucp: {ihnp4, allegra}!pruxc!ayf or !erc3ba!ayf
