My point was/is, as with every religion, if one is willing to accept that others outside your own label can be good, my argument is that one should consider that morality isn't in the label, but in the individual.
Humans merely attribute their goodness to a label. I don't agree with that knowing that there is not one nation that does not have hospitals and prisons.Even Israel has prisons. America has prisons, Iran and Saudi Arabia also have prisons, and all have hospitals too.
"Many people find"...... Yes, "find", I agree, but based on what? What they are sold, what they want to believe.
Humans "find" excuses to buy into a group yes. But we are still all human.
It sounds as if you’re only satisfied if people find happiness on YOUR terms, and I think that’s rather short-sighted. If a return to Judaism helps her to be a better person, so what?

Please spare me.
I am not out to dictate to the world. I am arguing if somone, anyone agrees we are all humans, then the idea that a religion/god makes us different, I do object to that logic.
"So what" in what context? If she returns to her Jewish faith, not a damned legal thing I can do, nor would want to do to stop her.
But in terms of logic, which if you would read my prior post, makes no logical sense. I am sure it makes her happy, but that doesn't make it provable.
I have seen plenty of people in my life who are weekend worshipers, or holiday worshipers, OF MANY religions, who don't go regularly, and don't follow the traditions, whom, upon sudden stress fall back into it. I have a family member who came out to me almost a decade ago being a former Christian, called herself an atheist. Earlier this year she unfortunately lost both her adoptive parents on top of getting a divorce. Now she claims she is "Knights Templar" Christian.
If you read my prior post, the lady on the show said that she had gone through a bad breakup. Trauma causes humans to seek out comfort. It does not mean what they seek comfort from is provable.
She found a placebo, she did not find a provable truth that is universal.
