Why convert to judaism over "remaining a righteous gentile"?
I'm converting to judaism, and a rabbi asked me this philosophical question for me to ponder. What he meant is basically, since the jews accept that others can be good people, too, and go to heaven, although they may not share their religion, why still go through all the trouble of converting?
I said I'd do it because I wanted to belong, but I'm sure there are more intelligent things to say.
Just what are they though, can anyone fathom?
Thanks.
