why I like Judaism

1. straightforward One God. No sons, moms, saints, mangods, etc.
2. family focused. monastic life not encouraged.
3. here-and-now focused. not so pre-occupied with heavens and hells, afterlifes and rewards and punishments.
4. Complex book (Bible). Beware of simple answers! Life is rich and varied.
5. Long Tradition. Beware of flash-in-the-pan cults. Judaism stands the test of time. Survived heavy persecutions and the Holocaust.
