Re: Gus, tell me the truth, do you want to convet to Judism?

Why would anybody want to convert to Judaism in the first place? I can understand such a conversion is advisable for a marriage but in any other case? Material advantage? A trip to Israel? A job in the diamond trade? But then there's the frustration of having converted to a very close and "picky" community that won't wholeheartedly welcome you --just think of Ethiopian fallashas' predicament.... Not to mention the (geo)political side of the issue: to convert to Judaism, somehow, entails support to Israel (as a Zionist, Bible-based venture).

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I don't plan nor wish to convert to anything... I do, however, have respect for religious people, whatever their persuasion --except perhaps for the far-right "subspecies" like Christian Identity and the like.
