Unlike Christianity and Islam, Judaism never had Inquisitions or Crusades (actually in both of these "events" they were usually victims). That is another reason why I choose Judaism. It is just a bit less violent (to say the least).
You've said quite a bit about the morality of Judaism. While I agree there are some nice moral values in the Torah (and Christian holy texts), there is some royal crap in there too - such as the death penalty for minor infractions, adultery etc. and the acceptance of slavery. The fact that our modern values of "right" and "wrong" have changed substantially should clue you in to the fact that morality is not absolute. Morality changes with the times, and will continue to change as long as humans exist. On the other hand, God is supposed to be unchanging... hmmm.
