Theism

Well in terms of the Jewish God I suppose you would say he's more balanced-The Jewish God would never forgive you for just believing in him, no more then a Jew can be forgiven for just believing in God. From what I understand there is more emphasis in mercy in Christinaity, and more faith. Judaism isn't big into faith. Deeds not words as it were.

As for the miracles problem. It's not that much of a problem. God is hidden from us, so we don't recognize miracles as such. For the Jewish view of such a problem you can read up on Purim, the holiday who's point is to look at such things.
