Bnei Noach: Gentiles Embracing Judaism (Started by RJew)

WTS, The problem as I see it is that if we make it too easy for just anyone to convert, then we'll be flooded with people who have absolutely no commitment to following the mitzvot (Jewish commandments). If that were to happen, then "Judaism" wouldn't be Judaism anymore. What makes me uncomfortable with this Bnei Noach business, even if it did provide its followers with something to *do* as liora pointed out, is that it's a movement originating with people who don't want to join, as in "Here's a religion that we think would be good for you people, but not for us. Why don't you join?" Besides, it's on such a basic level that just about any religion from the past 25 centuries has to be richer and more satisfying. I think if I were a non-Jew, I would probably find it pretty insulting for anyone to suggest I become a "Noachide."
