So, It has come to Freepers Posting and siding with People for the American Way. How sad!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Christians attempting to convert anyone. Jews, Muslims and all religions have the same privilege.

Get a life, Guys!

WRONG, my FRiend. What gives Christians the right to decide that another person's peacefully observed religion is no good and has to be changed to theirs? I didn't get the memo that anyone appointed them G-d and the say-so to decide this.

Judaism is very much against proselytizing others to become Jews. It is very difficult to convince an Orthodox rabbi to teach you the precepts of Judaism culminating in conversion. I am not even discussing the "Become a Jew in 10 Days, Just Add Water" nonsense of the non-Orthodox. Their "Insta-Jew" stuff is not in accordance with Jewish law and the conversion would not be recognized in Israel.

I have a life, FRiend---a Jewish one. And nothing or no one is going to change that.

Except that there's a LONG history of failed attempts to convert Jews, followed shortly thereafter by inquistions, pogroms, a few attempts at genocide, etc. Jews are kind of hard-wired at this point to have the hairs on the back of their necks stand up when this topic comes up - and you're a damned fool if you don't understand that.

Additionally, saying to someone, "Hey, your religion is wrong, you need to follow mine" is pretty over the top. How about live and let live? How about not trying to convince someone to separate themselves from the faith that their family has followed for over 3,700 years, the very act of which (the separation) would cause them to be spiritually separated from G-d? FYI, Jews likewise have a right to tell Bachmann and people like her to do anatomically impossible acts to themselves. It is not our preference - we'd generally like to be left alone - but it is often forced upon us.

FYI, Bachmann clearly has a lot of loose hardware rattling around inside of her skull - you might want to rethink being reflexively in her corner.
