I believe in a god, although I don't think that MY god is really 
compatible with any of the gods of the world's many religions, but then 
again, who knows? Anyways... I practice Judaism by choice. Many of it's 
traditions fascinate me, and I agree with it's value system in most 
(though not all) cases. For instance, the system of Kashrut (what should 
and shouldn't be eaten, to put it simply) is a much healthier way to eat 
than just eating anything. Also, one of it's tenets is that when an animak 
er animal, is killed for food, it's death must be painless. I don't eat 
much meat, but what meat I DO eat is kosher because I don't thnk ANY 
animal, be it cow, chicken, dolphin, or human, deserves to suffer undue 
pain for another's benefit. Although it can be argued that killing it is 
just as painful, but then there's another Jewish belief that I hope is 
true: the belief in an afterlife. Well, I'm starting to ramble a bit...
So I'll let someone else speak now :> This has been my faithful 
contribution:
