I actually did not check out Judaism. It was mostly between Islam and Christianity. But I do think Judaism is interesting now that I have actually researched it recreationally as I love learning.

I am sure you are Jewish because you feel it is right. And likely because you were born into it.

I was born in to it.... I had left Judaism for a while.... but when comparing it to other religions.... it is the better one... and not'e because it 'feels right' because it is true.

You'll have to prove why it is true above Judaism.... as two theists.
