RE: Poor Jews. On one side you got the Mooselimbs trying to kill them and now this.
What’s wrong with the latter?
“What’s wrong with the latter?”
There are some Freepers who think it is wrong to want to convert Jews to Christianity. They take it as an insult to Jews. Not all of those who take offense are Jews either. Strange.
What's wrong with being an observant Jew? BTW, I'm not Jewish.
Other than the fact that there’s nothing wrong with being Jewish?
While many Christians may believe that they are doing Jews a favor by trying to convert them, it is viewed as insulting and offensive. Our faith has existed for over 3,700 years, and includes an covenant with G-d that He would watch over us and protect us if we "walk in His ways," so to try to convert us is not only telling us that we are wrong, it is trying to detach us from the faith of our Fathers, the teachings that were handed by G-d to Moses on Mt. Sinai, and our connection with G-d. Oh, and BTW, it is also the faith that Jesus had - it is his followers that morphed it into something else.
Additionally, the failure of many in the past to convert Jews to their religion (various forms of paganism, Christianity and Islam) has led to enormous and hideous violence against Jews. Thanks, but no thanks, just leave us alone. Worry about your own souls, let us worry about ours. In fact, leaving us alone is probably one of the best things that you can do for your own souls.
