Judaism is open to any sincere convert, you utter fucking moron.
And yes, I'm a Jew and this had better not turn into another Israel debate thread.

I didn't say it wasn't, you fucking douche.
What I said - if your read the rest of the post - was according to the Torah, basically 'once a Jew always a Jew' according to bloodline. Any Rabbi will tell you the same thing. Though variables between the faiths (Orthodox, Conservative, etc) vary in requirments - usually if your mother is Jewish (Judaism's law of matrilineal descent) then you are automatically too, though a Reconstructionist rabbi would say either parent. This is all in The Talmud as well as the Torah.
Of course it's open to any convert, it is a religion - and one of the better ones for that matter.
And I have read the Torah, as well as Book of Haftaroth.
I didn't say once during my post that you had to be of Jewish blood to practice Judaism.
READ, you moron, before jumping on someone.
