You should read this Article by Rabbi Manis Friedman :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Ephraim Feyertag (United States), Jan 26, 2005 at 16:36

Spinoza's books are heretical. He didn't just write another point of view nor did he point a new way to be a Jew. He was another egomanical philospher that attempted to catagorize G-d's commandments (mitzvot) to the stinking realm of relativism.
