Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

BRTD, there's nothing inherently wrong with rabbinic Judaism, and there are rabbinic Jews who don't act like NY Jew.

The point I'm trying to make is that advocating conversion as a means of improving the spiritual lives of people whose personality issues don't seem to stem from their specific religion is very low on my list of priorities and I think probably should be on yours as well. Then again, I'm soteriologically Rahnerian, so my desire that people should become Christians can afford to be tempered a little bit by my desire that members of non-Christian religions--and Christian religions, for that matter--should continue to exist in large numbers in the interests of, to borrow a phrase from the good people of Portland, Oregon, 'keeping humanity weird'. I think it's more useful to trawl for agnostics and apatheists than for people who already have something specifically else that they're committed to in the religious realm.

Also this is starting to belong in Religion & Philosophy.

NY Jew, are...are you saying that the Mosaic Law is binding on Gentiles, or are you trying to convert BRTD to Judaism? Either way it's not going to work.

Also, if Orthodox Jews are becoming one-issue voters, I think that's due to Orthodox Jews.
