You can convert into a pumpkin if you really want to but you would have to understand a pumpkin first ... same deal with anything including religion... notice how many people have not converted into anything but lazy slobs! However even if you don't try and become a pumpkin one day it might happen regardless of your desires simply because the first desire was not enough! Having desire is important.

Yes, you can "really" convert to Judaism, but not just for the sake of marriage -- no rabbi will convert you simply so you can get married. It might be good for you to take an Intro to Judaism class to learn more about the religion -- there might be something more pulling you in that direction.

That isn't true. Conservative and Hassidic sects may have stricter guidelines, but you do not have to be a jew by birth.
Jews also do not consider children born to a Jewish father and a non-jewish mother to be a non-jew. But if the woman converts, her children will be considered jews by birth.
Hope this helps!

Not true in the least. It's actually going against the tradition of the oral law to make a distinction between someone born Jewish and a convert.
Once a person has converted, legally it is as if they have always been Jewish.

Every person has the right to choose his own religion or belief. You can not force all people to believe you in the Hinduism.If you ever become a leader of one country or town or barrio, or group do not ever be a dictator for you will be killed by your own people in that way.Let them believe what they want to believe. Do all things you wanted to do to convince your people

You can convert. And you'd be a Jew, but not of Jewish/Hebrew descent.
Just like how going to a black southern baptist church doesn't make you black either.

You can convert, and you will be a true Jew (you just won't have a Jewish mother).

There are different groups within "Judaism". Some are relatively closed, some more open.
