The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants. Socialism is the gospel of envy.

And I have no problem with them. I accept anyone that chooses to join.
Not everyone accepts all converts though. Some only consider Orthodox converts Jewish and don’t accept Reform conversion. But to me, it doesn’t matter. Previous Message
We were at our Tahoe cabin this past weekend and my son hits up the skatepark daily. He usually meets other kids to play/skate with, this time was no exception.
There were three siblings there. A teen girl, and her two little brothers. Helena, Uriah, and Ephraim.
I offered a snack and the youngest kid kinda recoiled and said "But that's not kosher...we keep kosher!"
No problem. I get it...cept these were some Aryan lookin, blond haired, blue eyed jews if I've ever met them. They pointed out their dad who was sitting at a picnic table studying a torah...which immediately weirded me out as I don't trust anyone casually reading their chosen holy book in public.
But given the names, I'm guessing that dad converted somewhere between "Helena" and "Uriah" and dove way deep in.
I know from my time working with some observant jewish folks that some people don't accept converts.
What are ya'll take?
Guns. Have them.21
