The Jews belive that they are the chosen people and therefore operate a policy of exclusivity whcih is why they do not actively seek to convert people to their faith.

Of course the holocaust didn't exactly help the numbers of Jews in the world, killing something like 60% of the total.

Um, also don't forget the Muslims, the Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses, and many others that come ringing your doorbell or talk to you at the bus stop.

I am proud to say I am a Jew. The Holocaust was a terrible time for the Jews, killing off millions of Jews in Europe. My great grandparents parished in the Halocaust.
Ok, time to get back on topic. For hundreds of years Christians and Catholics have been assimilating people. During Colombus' time, the Spanish tried to convert all the Native Americans. Catholics and Cristians go to 3rd world countries and convert confused and helpless people.

Well, congrats on that. But all I'm saying is that maybe it's not such a bad thing what's going on.

And if you're so proud you're a Jew, you should go back and read the Torah. I believe it says in there that you're god's "chosen people".

you make it sound like they are touching them inappropriately or something. They are spreading the word of god not taking advantage of them. Now when the Christians started spreading by the sword, that was a different story. I don't agree with shoving my religion down other peoples throats but i do believe it is important to make Christianity known to people who have no idea what it is.

Many imperialist nations used religion as a veil to hide their colonialist intentions when first entering countries in Africa for instance.

That is what many of the original missionaries did in a nutshell.

Well, some religious figures have been known to innopropriately touch young boys, but I won't get into that.

That link doesn't work by the way.
From my experiences at temple I have never met a Rabbi that was a molestor. Yet again, i have never met a father who was a molestor either. I say that the majority of a race or religion shouldn't be judged upon by several molestors or phycopaths.

it actually depends on the religions morals, and I think that makes judism actually a little cool, they don't try to convert, they let other people come to them on their own. Even though I do a bit of converting myself. . ..
