As a result, the mere acceptance of the principles and practices of Judaism does not by themselves make a person a Jew. But, conversely, those born Jewish do not lose that status because they cease to be observant Jews, even if they adopt the practices of another religion.
You are a complete fucking idiot that knows nothing of Judaism and is relying on google to attempt to avoid seeming like a complete idiot on the subject. Here is a newsflash for you Smelly, you don't know a fucking thing and YOU DO look like a complete idiot on the subject.
And if you weren't enough of a neophyte on the subject to begin with; the present custom is to treat someone as born Jewish if either the father OR the mother is Jewish. Stop cutting and pasting from google - you are getting old and incorrect information confused with reality.
