Just what she said
Ann Coulter thinks everyone should be a Christian.
I agree with her.
I would hope every Muslim would wish that everyone should be a Muslim. I would hope that every Jew felt the same way. I would be insulted if a Jew looked at me and said “No way. He can’t be a Jew”. If he said “I wish you were a Jew”, I would be honored.
Do people really think that missionaries aren't trying to do exactly what Ann just wished for?
Yeah, I don’t see what the big deal is (other than that such things as Coulter supposedly said here, usually are NOT said, as it’s pushy/rude). Technically, Jews believe Christians have accepted an incorrect Messiah. And so on: Every religion, by definition, believes other religious fall short of the ideal approach to divinity — that is, that those other religions’ adherents could benefit from “perfecting.” Big deal. Did I misunderstand her?
I think everyone should be what his/her conscience tells them to be and not try to force anyone else to be something they don’t want to be - that’s what is wrong with Islam.
Proselytizing is one thing. Degrading another person’s belief system is something very different.
Judaism, traditionally, has not prosletyzed, does not believe that everyone should be a Jew, and does not believe that gentiles need to convert to Judaism in order to be saved. The Talmud says that "the righteous of all nations have share in the world to come."
I hear what your saying, but Jews don’t try to convert people. With very few exceptions it’s a religion that one is born to. Therefore, you won’t see the impulse to argue theirs as the “one true religion”.
I take it you haven’t talked to many Orthodox Rabbis on the idea of Gentile conversion. They range from “No” to “HELL NO” to “Get out of my face you goy!”
And the trick is, to come to the same Rabbi all the time until he tires of you and sees you’re serious.
Judaism is not a proselytizing religion.
Judaism is not a missionary religion. We don’t seek converts. It is not like that.
Then you don't understand Judaism, because Judaism has no interest in evangelizing. I don't wish you were a Jew, but don't mean anything bad by it. It is not necessary to be Jewish to live a righteous life or go to heaven.
