At best, the traditions of anyone's 'own culture' should be in accordance with the noachide laws, whether they realize that or not. All humans (Jews and non-Jews) are subject to those particular basic societal rules - don't murder, don't steal, establish courts of justice, etc. (some might quibble about the 'no idolatry' part, and maybe the 'be kind to animals' one perhaps. But if you define 'idolatry' as 'that created item which comes between you and your conception of divinity' then there's less of an issue).

Heres more, sorry to be a pain. I am of Irish-Scottish descent, as a Noachian it seems I would still take pride in my heritage. Would I share the Jewish view that Sabbath is looked to as a special time of spiritual reflection? Or, besides the seven laws would I continue in the traditions of my own culture? Thanks again.

the sabbath is not one of the 7 noachide laws and is, textually, delineated as a time for jews to celebrate. Even a convert, before his conversion is complete, is required to break the sabbath so that he doesn't "observe" it as a jew until he is one. However, EVERY day should be used for spiritual reflection. The sabbath isn't a special time for that.

Identity Crisis.

Why are you asking all these questions of Noahides, when in December you were still defending the blood issue (the issue that blood should not be given even to save the life of a child) and also the religion of Jehovah Witnesses, which is probably the only religion that preaches such things. 

On several occasion you claimed you were a believing witness of JW, when at the same time on the Jewish forum  you were asking question about joining up with Judaism and/or the Noahide religions.  You posted with us for about 2 or 3 months, then suddenly left without not so much as a goodbye.  At the same time you were posting with us, you were posting with JW.  No 2 religions could be further apart.  Just wondering.
