I'd encourage you to actually attend a synagogue service, or even just have a chat with a real-life Jewish person, before exposing yourself to ridicule as you have here.
In my life as a Jewish person, I've never _once_ hear a rabbi even hint as such a sentiment. Converts are treated exactly as Jewish as those who are born into the faith. What leads you to think otherwise?
- gbear605 6y agoI'd suspect that OP was referring to the first century CE when Christianity could be said to have "won out" over Judaism, and yes then Jewish people often were racist in that way, just like people of most cultures then. Nowadays Jewish people aren't racist at all, or at least less so than the average American or European - and OP should have acknowledged and phrased that better.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoYes, I should have me it more clear that I am speaking of the fact that there is no philosophical reconciliation between Christianity or Judaism; rather than people being racist.
- GuiA 6y agoMost every religion does have that bias of "we know better, we've got the holy texts, if you're not with us you're doomed/clueless/need to be saved/unlucky". The fact that modern practitioners in your geographic locale of choice aren't as bigoted as their more literal brethren doesn't mean much, except perhaps that there is hope in undoing the more harmful superstitiousness of religion by raising quality of living (for all, regardless of faith).
- pianoben 6y agoSure, but that's not what the GP was talking about. They directly stated that those who joined would forever be "second-class citizens", which simply isn't factual.
