Peacefully converting Jews is a spiritual death for them. Not even to be considered. And I am no lib, trust me on that. How would YOU like someone to come along and tell you, “Your religion is no good. You have to follow mine.”? Many Jews throughout history have killed themselves rather than convert, because conversion is a spiritual death.
I have people that already do that. They are jehova witlesses. I ignore them and they go away. I am a catholic by the way. Only proselytizing by the sword or coercsion should be illegal.
You don't think their religion is no good? You think that Judaism and (lehavdil!) chrstianity are equally good? You think that J*sus isn't (lehavdil!) Mashiach for Jews but that he is for non-Jews?
Their religion is no good. Why aren't you telling them that instead of implying that there's a separate "one true religion" for everyone under the sun?
I'm a former chrstian and a Noachide, and I simply don't understand how any Orthodox Jew can not understand (however much he may disagree with) other religions that also believe they possess the exclusive truth. I'm a convert from chrstianity myself. Are you saying I'm no better off than I used to be?

Exactly. Not to affirm that "all religions are equal." Chrstians need to leave a false religion for the true one.
Conversion to faith in Christ IS spiritual death. But on the other side of that death is everlasting life. That is why we conduct the sacrament of baptism. Baptism is a “dying with Christ so that we may be raised with Christ.”

Yes. If being a Jew was good enough for Jesus,
Christians trying to convert people out of it
are embarking on a insulting endeavor.
