Quote:The point I was making is that the word "Jew" originally referred to an ethnic group, not a religion.... YOU CAN'T CONVERT TO AN ETHNICITY.
got it?
Hey, asswipe. The word "Yehud" originally referred to a region not an ethnic group. They were ethnically all fucking Canaanites. The "Jews" were a political creation of the Persian empire. And as far as not converting to it....tell it to the Hasmonean kings at the end of the first century. They'd gladly take a piece of your dick off.

Quote:Much of the Galilee region was annexed by Aristobulus, however, there was some resistance from the Arab Ituraean tribes from the northern parts of the region. The terrain made campaigning difficult against the Galilee inhabitants. In the end, Aristobulus would eventually conquer much of the territory from them.[9]The Golan region was also taken during the campaign and Mount Hermon as well.[10][11][8] The conquered inhabitants were forced to accept the Jewish faith, primarily, circumcision was forcibly performed as the first step to conversion.

Quote:He forced Idumaea to convert to Judaism, the first example of conversion imposed by the Jews in their history. Upon his death Hyrcanus was succeeded by his eldest son, Aristobulus I. Hyrcanus’ reign was the last under which Judaea was a powerful, united state.
As a matter of fact, the practice continues to this day....without being done at sword point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_to_Judaism
Quote:Conversion to Judaism (Hebrew: גיור, giyur) is a formal act undertaken by a non-Jewish person who wishes to be recognized as a full member of a Jewish community. A Jewish conversion is normally a series of religious acts and studies, including an expression of association with the Jewish people and, sometimes, the Land of Israel.[1][2][3] A formal conversion is also sometimes undertaken to remove any doubt as to the Jewishness of a person who wishes to be considered a Jew.
Do you ever bother to learn what are you are talking about or do you just spit out the first thing that pops out of your ass?
