Question
Hi Clint,
I left Christianity after I found that Paul’s writings contradict the Tanach. I asked a Rabbi why he believed in Judaism and he told me that his ancestors actually heard God speak and that they passed it on to their children.

I’m still skeptical but I can’t see how this could have been faked, is there any evidence that Judaism is false?
Let me get this straight. You may be switching from one religion you think is contradicting to another religion that is based on unfounded testimony? The voices in my head are telling me that the wisest choice you could make is to not believe in any religion at all.
Belief, faith, and fear are powerful tools used by merciless tyrant leaders. Don't let your head be fooled by your heart. Be cautious of groups who put you into false debt claiming to pay it for you suggesting that you should stay with them or go to hell. If you want to believe or convert to Judaism because some old dude told you that another old dude heard that some other old dudes talk to the inventor of the universe, then be my guest. Frankly I think I just gave you the evidence against Judaism or any other theism, common sense.

Raised Southern Baptist, Atheist since 2007, Theology, Cosmology, and Abiogenesis hobbiest. Rational philosopher and logical deep thinker.
Experience
Raised Southern Baptist (Oklahoma), three times weekly including bible study. At age 39 I thought I wanted to be a better Christian and make God a priority and center of my life; until I actually got serious with the study and realized that all this God business was actually just a business. Then I picked up all the other religions for comparison and studied theology as a whole in order to understand religion as a whole. Since then I have thrown out my respect for religious organizations and the dishonest people who run them. I am not militant against religion and feel that personal and private spritiuality is a human right. I'm 100% sure there is no master of the Universe concerned with our daily existance but hold reserve about where everything came from; I don't know but at least science doesn't invoke far fetched unbased fantasy. I'm also 100% sure that beyond death there is no consciousness, spiritual or ghostly existance and I bravely accept that my demise will be real.
