Tell me what you love most about your religion, faith or lack off.
No arguing in this thread. You will get the boot for trolling. Harmless jokes are okay.

I am Jewish and here are some the things I love about my religion.
1. The focus is on life here on earth rather than on the afterlife.
2. The holidays are primarily about freedom, which is a universal concept.
3. There is a tradition of study and debate. You’re SUPPOSED to question and challenge all of the beliefs. It’s built right into the services, like at Passover. And it’s all through the Torah and Talmud.
4. It’s about sacred time, rather than sacred people, objects, or spaces. The Sabbath is sacred. But a rabbi is just a teacher. It’s literally what the word means.
5. There is room within a single faith for many different levels of observance.
