I think it's really cool. I mean, a lot of people don't know about Judaism, and I like to talk to them about it. My mom comes to school sometimes and talks about it. But, I think it's not exactly a unique thing, but I really like how they don't demand a lot of you. You're sort of free to worship however you want. You can be completely Orthodox, or you can just be really Reform. I like just doing whatever I think suits me.
When I was little I used to draw pictures of God, and he always ended up looking like a pirate - I did not mean for that to happen - because I thought beards made people look wise. So, he always ended up with this beard. But now I think God is more like karma, like if you do stuff good then good things are going to happen to you. And if you do bad things, then you're not going to get anywhere in life, and it's just not going to work out for you.
Sometimes, I just talk to him in my mind, and I'm telling him about my problems. I think he has more important stuff to do than fix my little problems, like, "Oh, please, let me get a 100% on the math quiz."
I would just tell him, "Good job. Keep up the good work."
