In reply to:Judaism is based on "good deeds" - the positive is reinforced more than the "Thou shalt not...."
I agree mitzvah would be an apt sinantonym, if only it were an English word. But as I recall (and I concede my Talmudic lore is a little rusty), there are 365 negative (ie of the 'thou shalt not...' variety) commandments in the good OT, but only 248 positive ones. So statistically, Gatsby, I think you're on theologically shaky ground.
