Rant #1

Today in class we were discussing the laws of marriage and the ketubah, etc. My teacher made a comment to the effect of "the marriage contract screws the man". I half jokingly commented that it balances out, since the entire Torah (and Judaism in general) is sexist. In response, I got a 7 minute lecture which basically said that the Torah is the ultimate truth and that if you are Jewish life will be better. My teacher is very close minded (obviously) and implied that if I argued I risked being kicked out of the class. I pick my battles wisely, and this was not the battle to fight!
Question: How will my life be better if I am Jewish, won't it be more difficult?

Welcome!

Hello, I do not know if this will ever be read, but I hope it is...
Basically I am currently confused about what to believe about Judaism, and religion in general. I see so many different flaws, but at the same time I am unsure what to make of these "flaws"
As the title of this blog implies, I am unhappy with Jewish Education in Orthodox schools...they seem to be such a turn off!
