I do not and I am not, under any burden because I give service and worship to the God that delivered the Israelites from slavery out of Egypt. ... the author wrote that I have a burden because I am a Jew, or that Jews could have a burden placed upon them by a deceptive, treacherous, god that uses betrayal.

OK, I think I see now. Are you saying a subset of Jewish readers could think that the poster was saying God imposed a burden upon you? If so, did you consider replying that:

a. You don't feel that giving service and worship to your God is a burden to you.

and/or

b. You don't feel that a God that imposes burdens is necessarily a bad God.
