What I thought was and what I discovered is, Judaism!

I thought Judaism was a story of God-forbid:
God many years ago had a epiphany “How about, I will give these two tablets of ten commandments + 603 to the Jewish people” – then we Jews have to keep them – life can suck getting your tush-kicked-in from antisemites, but worry not, as the Messiah shall save you and you will live happily ever after…
but then I discovered, that was just the superficial reading, the real story goes like this: God has an epiphany before creation “What if as an act of unconditional love I will put my essence into you (yep, You!) to do this, first he created the notion of independent existing people, in an independently functioning world; he then revealed that he exists, through the miracles recorded in the Bible, the Bible, and the Tzaddikim, miracle workers in every generation; and then in our time, for the first time in human history, he shed the notion that man must follow society; no, society must be democratic; people can do what they want, when they want, how they want… so people did; and they finally realized, they had no idea what they want, when they want, or what to want! – and in this existential loneliness, in this deep spiritual angst, in the parched soul looking for truth, in a personal way, God-Himself would be their guide.
