I only wish it were sarcasm. But I have no innocent explanation to give to other Jews as to why, for example, the Southern Baptists specifically target Jews for conversion. What sort of reaction would you have if another religion targeted you for conversion?

I am a Southern Baptist and I have yet to see or hear of any SBC program specifically targeting Jews. The SBC has domestic and international missions in literally thousands of places around the globe. Jews may have been mentioned along with hundreds of other people groups but I have never heard of any specific targeting of Jews. The SBC does have missionaries throughout the ME as witnessed by the murder of several in Iraq and Yemen over the past year.

Depending on their approach, I might find it annoying, but I wouldn't think they were doing something evil. By the way, I've never heard a Jewish person answer this question: If Judaism is for Jews only (which seems implied by Jewish reluctance to convert others to Judaism), and if Christianity and Islam are errors, what religion should the rest of us have, and where does our religion come from? Are we to be religious orphans, forever?

I tell them no thank you and get on with my life like an adult.

I have been targeted by JWs for years. They still make regular treks into my neighborhood and try to share their magazine, engage me in dialog, etc.

I have also been targeted by Mormons and, a few years back, the Moonies were pretty big around here. They sold some nice peanut brittle

It's no big deal. Being the focus of another religion's attempts at conversion is a microscopically small price to pay to live in a free and open society.

I'd be as concerned as the 1st century Jews were during Pauls missionary journeys. They tried to kill him. Why should we expect today to be any different? Denial of the truth does not change the truth.

Well, if it was a choice between that or death, I might convert. Most religions don't threaten the unconverted with death, so I think it would be a nuisance, nothing more. No worse than Sears targeting me for a new washing machine, or MTV targeting my daughter for hip-hugger pants.

You have got to be kidding. You say you are a Christian and you're saying the other Christians trying convert Jews is a problem?
