Are Jewish People Oppressed?

[sally]

As a Catholic I know that everyone is welcome into the religion, not just by right of birth. So can anyone become Jewish? Or is it a closed society. As might be certain other closed minded religions and standards? Be careful with your fucking answer.

I had this argument with that moron Moose. I said that a person can still be Jewish without practicing the religion. Everyone laughed at me and said I was stupid, but it turned out I was right .

A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism.

It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship. It also helps to have a big nose and loud mouth.
