Considering becoming Noahide

[Starlight]

I believe in One God.

I believe in reincarnation.

The only abrahamic religion who believe in reincarnation is Judaism.

Now i consider becoming a Noahide. I also consider hinduism or buddism but in my heart I believe only in one God.

Any thoughts?

I did not know that they believe in reincarnation.
The very LAST thing I would ever want is to come back to this world!
That would be hell.

The same way one decides on the quality of god(s). Arbitrarily.

Many seem to have decided on the number first.
But even those with the quantity assigned by the
religion might wonder why a particular number.

Since you have suffered a great deal this life, you would probably not suffer as much in the next

That's the promise, but Baha'is do not believe in reincarnation. We believe that we go to a spiritual world or worlds.

“O My servants! Sorrow not if, in these days and on this earthly plane, things contrary to your wishes have been ordained and manifested by God, for days of blissful joy, of heavenly delight, are assuredly in store for you. Worlds, holy and spiritually glorious, will be unveiled to your eyes. You are destined by Him, in this world and hereafter, to partake of their benefits, to share in their joys, and to obtain a portion of their sustaining grace. To each and every one of them you will, no doubt, attain.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 329

According to the Noachide POV you're already a Noachide

Ifn you can decide what you believe, there's
nothing to accomplishing any level of self deception.

It comes from an observation of life experiences that there is a single divine order to the universe.

I have lotsa money so any cats that outlive me will be well cared for.

Well perhaps. You don't know OP feels about idols, adultery or eating live animals.
I won't mention murder, theft because most people generally don't do it and there should be a court system in place where OP lives.

The whole reincarnation idea within Judaism is rather varied and means different things to different people.
It certainly isn't reincarnation in the sense in which it was born on the Indian subcontinent.

I meant the idea that every non-Jew is considered, within Judaism, a Ben/Bat Noach and is still part of the covenant.

Philosophically that's true, but practically-halachically it's of course more complicated as I'm sure you know. That's why, for example, there are different laws for idol-worshippers in Israel and Gerim Toshavim (Noachides living in the Land of Israel).
