That and it seems logically impossible and seems to leave more questions than it answers.

But when I read my Siddur (Jewish prayer book), I feel much happier. I've been reading a lot of Jewish theology and the basic ideas and it's MUCH closer to what I believe than deism ever was.

I'm seriously going about converting to Judaism.
Well, does the fact that you feel much happier actually mean anything other than endorphines or whatever have been released into your brain?
