It's just weird to me when people use the bloodlines thing to paint Jews as having a superiority complex.
In religious terms, it's the Jewish spirit which is most important, not bloodlines, and that's how converstion is rationalized. In political terms, it's no different then laws in place within Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and many African nations. All Westen nations give preference in the way of social services to those born into automatic citizenship. It's true, Jews find themselves in a neverending debate within their own communities over who is or isn't deemed a Jew, but it's nothing compared to what goes on in Islamic communities, and I believe it exists in some form with Christians too. So again, while Jews do have many unique traditions (ie. wearing horns and flying around the room), this particular one isn't unique.
I realize you're joking, but I'm answering this anyway because it seems to bother people.
