(forgive me for complaining through your inbox but you have further reach than me) I'm so tired of seeing "jokes" that amount to just fiddleford being a Christian and ridiculing Ford for not being Christian. like yeah yeah Ford summoned a demon but maybe stop being like "haha fidds tells Ford (a canonically Jewish man) to accept Jesus into his heart" and thinking that's like. a joke.

no for real i dont know why people keep thinking this kind of shit is funny and not deeply uncomfortable. i just blocked someone the other day who did this quote unquote joke where fiddleford and ford agree to stop being gay for "jesus's sake" like im for real going to start hitting people with a big bat that says "HES JEWISH"

hi there ! ive recently been looking into the conversion process for judaism (to clarify, this would theoretically be for later in my life when i feel like id be better prepared) but i was wondering what, if any, places exist for paganism within judaism ? or where i should look for thise answers ? i used to be pagan and am not sure if im able to fully turn my back on those gods, or if i ever will be. i wanted to check now so that i dont end up overstepping or appropriating at all. thank u sm !

hi im realizing now that i phrased my last ask weirdly (abt judaism and paganism) but basically i was wondering about how the first commandment would affect something like past connections ? like i cant say that i would or will be taking active worship of other gods into my conversionif that ends up being the path i choose but would i have to fully turn my back on that in order to convert? ive done research but couldnt find anything abt this specifically thank u sm im sorry if this is insensitiv --  I won’t lie and say it’s not going to be VERY difficult for you to convert to Judaism while still trying to worship other deities, tbh. Monotheism (or at the very least henotheism) is a pretty strong line through any sect of Jewish religion. If you find you REALLY can’t stop worshipping them then I would be curious to know what about becoming Jewish appeals to you!  That said, I at least wouldn’t expect you to have to vocally renounce your entire past practices or anything like that. Everyone has a past and whatever you do before deciding to convert is your past, you know? I can’t say it would never happen, but it would be largely up to your Rabbi’s discretion and what they think would be best for you (finding a Rabbi you vibe with is important!) Just because you aren’t doing something anymore doesn’t mean you can’t still respect the time you had with it and the growth you got from that. As a former Pagan myself, I don’t really consider that “turning my back” on those deities. My path simply moved in a different direction, I did not “abandon” them because they are not entitled to or dependent on my worship.
