I'm not Jewish, though.

Maybe because you're a Jew?

I'm now curious, if it makes sense to you then why don't you become a Jew? It is possible because there are many laws and many people dislike them. I have a suggestion that for some odd reason is hardly known. Now that you have realized the sense of Judaism and might not want to observe its many laws there is a non-Jewish track in Jewish beliefs. This is not a cult but part of Judaism. Jews do not believe in gathering up converts but enlightening people about morality and hope for them accept basic universal morals called the 7 Noahide laws.

Not sure, none of them make sense to me, except buddhism and that is only for its lack of religion (as it is a philosophy, or a way to live life with no mention of an afterlife).
It is silly though that judaism makes sense, but not the other religions that stemmed from it (christianity, islam, etc) Personally, i think its all bunk but to each their own.

Judging by your avatar - because you know so little about it that you can fill in all the holes caused by your own ignorance with you own opinions on matters, thus coming up with a religion tailored for you.
Does it really make sense to you that it's okay to kill lice on Shabbat because they do not hatch from eggs but are made of sweat and dust, or that there are creatures called Reimim that are so big that a baby one ate all the trees in Palestine, or that a giant Lion attacked Rome, and it was so big that when it roared from100 miles away every woman miscarried, or that the Sanhedrin was transported from Jerusalem to Rome by a demon they met in the bath?
BTW, your hair will cause a hefsig between your head and tefillin, and you have shaved the peyot area on your cheaks, getting a sin for every hair you removed. Glad you're happy with Judaism. Try practicing it.

Good question.
But, whatever trips your trigger. I can accept the idea that there is probably an organized form of religion suitable to most every individual's temperament. And really, the only danger with any religion is dogmatism.
I looked it up for ya.
dog·ma·tism. Unfounded positiveness in matters of opinion; arrogant assertion of opinions as truths.

How many religions have you compared Judaism against in order to come to this conclusion? If you haven't done them all, compare, and THEN decide! Or maybe by that time, you'll have settled comfortably with one or more or gone on to new pursuits.

Because if that is your religion than you are where you belong. If that is not your religion than you might be being called to follow it. Everyone doesn't have to understand all religions, it's just nice to appreciate everyone for their choice of religion. One is not better than another.

Because you are Jewish I guess. You tell us why.
Why does it make sense to you? Which version are talking about?

Possibly because of memetic imprinting (which is not neccessarily a bad thing, despite the negative connotation) or more likely because it is your path.

Because you have a Jewish name?
BTW, my son's name is David.

Of all the Abrahamic religions, I think it makes the most sense.
