Am I an Idolator?
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
According to Christianity, Jesus is Hashem. Judaism disagrees about that of course but either way, we are monotheists, because we believe that Jesus is one and the same with G-d.

But Christians weren't taken out of Egypt as per the first ten commandment, now I remember that's what I meant to say, so Chrisitians can't be obligated to believe in it.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Fair point, and I also acknowledged to Muman too that the shabbat commandment probably does not directly apply to us too. But we do believe that the Ten Commandments did take place and do apply to the Jews.
Christians do believe in a condensed form of the Noahide Laws, found in Acts 15:29.

That is not what orthodox Christian theology teaches. Some cults of Christianity, like the J-----h's Witnesses do indeed teach that Jesus and G-d are separate deities, but mainstream Christianity absolutely does not hold to this.

But is Catholic Church considered "mainstream" ? They DO speak of praying to the father vs. praying to the son, etc... This does imply there is a difference. But anyway, whatever.

Yes it is, and what you describe is a very complicated topic. The Trinity is difficult even for Christians to understand. The best analogy for the Trinity is the various different aspects of the human mind--we have rational, emotional, and philosophical capacities that are distinct, but yet all very much part of the normal human consciousness.
