I was a Christian for many years. I always had problems with the idea that non-believers would go to you-know-where and with the trinity. I had problems with the treatment of women. According to Paul, we are to obey our husbands, accept that we are weaker, that men are at our head, and that we have no authority to teach men. I felt that women are to sit quietly and to serve men while being pretty little objects for them to love.
I've always felt more Jewish. I believe and will always believe in one God. I treasure the stories of the OT.
However, I'm against an official conversion. If I believe in the faith, why can't I just be Jewish? What makes me less Jewish than the guy with the Jewish mother who doesn't believe? Can't I observe the faith without an official conversion process? Would I ever be welcome in a reform temple if I don't convert? Why do we see Jewish as something a person is instead of something they believe?
