Judaism

So, to make a decision and understand why some thing are like they are, we need to look at the “big” religions of this world a bit closer. So, let’s go back in time and look at the one which is the oldest of the three main European religions – Judaism.
The biggest obstacle on they way to understanding Judaism is misunderstanding. Hardly and historical events or appearances are exposed to so much misunderstanding like Judaism. This has several causes which each and for themselves are a powerful, almost insurmountable barrier to the understanding of Judaism. The first one is the behaviour of Jews. It is a historical fact that the Jews do not feel the inner urge to expose them and their belief to the outer world. They do not go round and try to convince non-Jews of their religious belief. Jews are Jews by birth not through convertion. Because of this,they have always excepted other religions. But the other side of this, they do not try to mix with non-Jews. Of course in happens all the time - but they prefer to mix in marriage with people of the same religion, simply because it makes life a lot easier. Also this guarantees the existance of Judaism in the future.  The moral of Judaism is simply that it is not necessary or desirable that all people are Jews. Yes, there are ways of converting to Judaism, but it is not as easy as it is with other religions.
