I thought it was hilarious, but as far as I know you are allowed to convert to Judaism, even orthodoxy accepts converts. Marilyn Monroe, Sammy Davis Jr, and Elizabeth Taylor all converted to Judaism.

I very much enjoyed that and can't wait to share!

You can convert to Judaism, I did it while I was in boo tcamp because there was only one Jew in my platoon and he was very small. So to keep him from being picked on I said I was Jewish(I was the biggest buy in the platoon) and even went to services with him. It was actually a very pleasant experience. We were the only two marines that had a service on friday nights while everyone else got all jacked up and still got to chill on sunday while everyone else went to their other services

There's actually an entire conversion process in Judaism. The process involves studying for months to even years depending on the movement and your rabbi, incorporating observance of laws and holiday observances into your life, and going in front of a religious court called the Beit Din to see if you're fit for conversion, then you undergo immersion in a mikveh usually.

They never mentioned it to me. I think they assumed I was already Jewish. I mean we were only there for 2 months one in the beginning and one at the end so I never got to see/do any of that.

Yeah, Judaism is a little different than other religions where you can start practicing and you're in. If you told people you're Jewish and you went to services they probably just thought you were. It's not like they take surveys or anything.

It was spot-on until the end when he tried to apply Sermon on the Mount ideals to other religions and proved he was ignorant of other cultures. Probably is an American.

It was certainly very Christianity censored. That dad also mentions when talking to the kid that no one in their right mind would believe in Christianity unless they were taught that by an authority figure when they were young. There are people who become Christian later in life voluntarily. Excuse me, but god knows why.
