Would you care to discuss it a little deeper? I'll be willing to change my position on critical thinking if you can solidly demonstrate to me that I more or less do not think critically.
Edit: I should probably add that I'm a Jew, and just by playing the numbers game, there is a good chance that you don't know very much about Judaism.
What is it about Judaism that makes logical sense to you when compared to reality?
Judaism's driving purpose is for Jews to live a good life. I was raised secular Jewish and gained an orthodox education as an adult (I'm no longer a strictly practicing Orthodox). When I consider my life prior to applying Jewish principles, I found it to be less appealing then when I did start applying Jewish principles. I simply find that the quality of my life has improved.
