I have a friend who is set on converting from some sort of Christianity to Judaism. This confuses me. I am asking this from a position of ignorance in the hope of enlightenment.

Christianity appears to have a benign deity, and you get three in the package for one set of praying. There are very few restrictions, if any.

Judaism appears to have a terrifying deity, with mood swings, and you only get one, with the promise of a messiah to come I think! Plus you get loads of restrictions.

So why would one convert?

I could ask him, but I wont be. Not for a while at least

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
