Oops, I guess this answers the question I just asked.
OK, so I don't blaspheme (much), murder, steal, commit adultery, or eat the limbs of any creatures, living or dead. I haven't personally established any legal systems, but I'm thinking that's not an individual commandment. I don't think I commit idolatry, except in the sense that I'm as prone as anyone else to treating things other than G-d like they have ultimate significance. Or is Christianity idolatry by definition? :-)
So Leland, this makes me wonder if there can be an alternate version of Pascal's wager, in which one tries to observe all the moral teachings of all the world religions at once. There's a lot of overlap between the seven Noahide laws and Buddhism's Five Precepts, for example.
