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
