I don t know that it would make too big of a difference. something else would have taken its place to fill the void. (just MY thoughts though) not to be taken too seriously:)

There would be less religions less people arguing about who is right and who isnt.

why peg one religion? honestly if there was no Judaism, there would be something else to replace it. Why not ask the big question like John Lennon. Imagine theres no heaven....

There would be less Jewish people.

Without any standard religions? Judaism is the roots of all religions, so the end?

There would be no bagels and everything would be 20% less sexy.

Everybody is wrong. If the Judaism was not born, the main religion on Earth today would be the Scientific Dogma of Faith of the Great Pyramid about. The hystoric would be different. No religions inquisitions, no religions Wars. no destruction of World Center Towers, no Irak War, no Afganistan War, no terrorists, no Israel as Nation, no Islam, no Vatican, no Catholic Crusades, no extermination of millions Jews by the Second War, no extermination of americans indigenous, no Priesthood Pederasty, no religious persecutions, and thousands others horrors in name of the biblical Gods. The World would be in Peace as one Nation only and the Sciences and the Technologies would be hundreds years ahead from today. The question is: When will be the day this mankind has the will free to discern the great stupidity their parents had by the time they took the decision to abandon Egypt in search of a new dogma of faith, the Judaism today. The religions are the worst thing could had happened this mankind. Why? Because, only... when will be too late to wail, the mankind will know they were deceived to believe in a false promise of salvation. That day men will wail had been so credulous of Judaism and Vatican.

the whole world descended from JEWS,Judaism. God's Chosen people.Christ was a Jew, descendant of David...starting with Moses...God has always made sure the lineage was written down..for a PURPOSE...think about it...every verse has a PURPOSE and REASON... the lineage is MOST IMPORTANT to ALL mankind. i have even heard people say,"WHY did God put all that lineage in the Bible?" DUH!!!! Jesus was the Jew that opened SALVATION to the whole world, not just Jews...

strangely devoid of christians

Who would make the matzoh ball soup?

The Palestinians would be alive, happy and free

They were the first ones to come up with the concept of interest on money. If there were no Jews the world would not be in economic crisis.

Obviously, the lesser? Am I missing something here? ;-)

christianity, catholicism, etc wouldnt exsist since they branched from christianity which came off of judiasm

1. Judaism is the first monotheistic religion (One God and one alone). So without Judaism I think the idea of Unity in the Universe would have been much later developed or never ( The Greeks called this the One vs the Multiple debate -if I translated correctly). It was quite a radical concept at the time ( the One God), this is why Romans thought of Jews as atheists, because the Romans believed in multiple Gods as did all of the European civilisations at the time and One God made no sense to them. Monotheism had great implications for later human thought so its hard for me to imagine a world without it. I hope we would not be still worshiping trees and animals and rocks and that we would have been able to develop a more sophisticated account of the Universe, but I'm not sure. We would probably be fighting over which God is better anyway (maybe more, considering history): the cat vs the tree, Athens vs Appollo or Diana vs Jupiter...more fragmentation, more fights. 2. There would be no Old Testament, no 10 commandments etc. 3. No Christianity and no Islam (both originated in Judaism).

Modern Judiasm might easily not have developed if history had been slightly different. This nearly happened in 701 BCE when the Assyrian Army besieged Jerusalem after destroying other Jewish Ciries.The Siege was ended probably due to plague in the Assyrian Army or a huge bribe from the Jews. If Judiasm had never existed, then there would be no Bible or Koran.Jesus and Mohommed would probably never have existed and there would be no Christianity or Islam. The World would be unrecognisable. Some have speculated thatin such a World we might be still pagans or practicing the Religion of Zoroastrianism. It has been suggested that if Christianity had never arose then the Ancient Persian Religion of Zoroastrianism would be the main religion of the World. We might still worship one God, but call him Ahura Mazda and venerate the Avesta instead of the Bible.Zoroaster might be as highly venerated as Jesus or Mohammed.
