Correction,

You were a Jew, now you are lost.  Do you think that G-d really cares what fashion your beliefs may take, whether you believe in Judaism, Chrisitianity, Hinduism or the Urantia Book? 

Hardly.  G-d cares whether you strive honestly to be a good person, that you treat others with respect and consideration, and that you lead a good life. I don't know you personally, but I would say on those last few counts, you are the one who quite fails miserably. You haven't shown a lot of spiritual growth around me, over the years, you have shown a lot of meanness.

No matter what religion we are, our deity wants us to feel the words of religious teachings, not simply know the words.  You err in that you know the words, and yet haven't the slightest consideration for what they actually mean.

The one thing you should have taken from Judaism is that one's personal ethics are important, they define who we are. That lesson is, of course, entirely lost upon you.  Go ahead and keep with your current beliefs, though.  Unlike you, I don't need everyone else to believe in the same manner that I do in order for me to consider their spiritual journeys successful.
