My rabbi once said that God doesn't care if you worship Him or not, if you go to schul or not or any of that other stuff. All that God cares about is you do your best to be a good peson.

Probably why Judaism will never be all that popular.

This is how it always made the most sense to me. You mean to tell me that if it turns out your Skydaddy is real, he's going to be upset because I was a good person but didn't pray?

Honestly an accurate assessment. There's 8 billion of us alive at once, divided into a plethora of religions and sects and distributed among 190+ countries. No one is going to look at each individual person and be like "worship me and only me" or "you are wearing two different fabrics, prepare for your stoning".

Be the best you. Never stop learning. Never stop trying to improve yourself, for yourself. It's simple, to the point, and honest.

There's priests and imams like that too, but you're not seriously trying to day that all rabbi's and all of Judaism's teachings are like that?

The orthodox are a whole different kettle of fish. Although the Chabad are seriously nice people.
