I wonder if you're dumber when you're being a Moderate Hero, or not being one. Posts like this make it a tough call.

Care to explain that?  Eventually, all people will follow Judaism.

LMAO.

If you want me to explain by the way, you probably should as well (basically explain why all will one day follow Judaism instead of simply saying so.)

When the Moshiach comes, all people will return to G-d, and His religion, Judaism.  That is a basic part of the religion.

But the Messiah has already come. His name was Jesus Christ. And Judaism was replaced.

I don't think Christianity will be replaced, but it will alter itself accordingly. Maybe less reliance on hardline dogma, and changes in ritual, but as a force, I don't believe it to be going anywhere.

That's already happening.

Those are all countries where it probably is a Census question, and plenty of people will answer some branch of Christianity even if they don't actually practice.

It wasn't me who did it.

The question of the thread is, "What will replace Christianity?"

I must admit -- Judaism is one of the most benign of religions. Except for the prohibitions on pork and shellfish it seems to make a lot of sense -- far more than the "Holy Ghost" in Christianity.

Actual Judaism hardly is. Not to mention its based around the belief a certain ethnic tribe are God's chosen people and can do whatever they want because it's always God's will (please note: benconstine has actually used this argument when discussing actual foreign policy.)

Obviously that's not how Judaism is largely practiced today, especially not in the US, but Reform Judaism is an insanely watered-down version of it. Those Haredi are hardly benign. If you limit your statement to just Reform Judaism it makes sense, but at its fundamentals it's no more tolerant than fundamentalist Christianity or Islam.
