Not sure what you mean by someone falling for Judaism -- their target is Jews who take all their beliefs on (including their Christian ones) thinking this is part of the Jewish faith. I read JP for actual laughs, he's hilarious. He's like the Jewish Ray Comfort but even more caricature-like! “The real thing”? :)

I didn't know that. I remember hearing them when I was at Berkeley, in California. They were around, but I didn't care much to find out who they were. I believed (perhaps that's what their advertising said) that they were Jews who happened to have accepted Jesus. Go figure... Ok, they are Christian and they are doubly deceptive: (a) because they are procelytizing and (b) because they are doing so by using other people's identity. They must be addressing morons though. Because, even if, initially, one of their converts falls for Judaism, surely, later, he or she will find out that he was really procelytized by a bunch of Christians. As, I said... go figure... And, yes, that site, the one of the jewish philosopher is "funny". Funny, isn't it, how a converted person can be more conservative, more fundamentalist, more stuck than the real thing. In his <a href="http://jacobstein-familyhistory.blogspot.com/2007/03/earlier-family-history.html" rel="nofollow">family history page</a> he writes: "My 33rd great-grandfather was Rollo (Hrolf) Rognvaldsson, a Viking chieftain from Norway who converted to Christianity and become the first count of Normandy in 911. My 41st great-grandmother St. Begga of Landen (died 698) is a Catholic saint, as is her mother St. Ida of Nivelles and her father-in-law and my 42nd great-grandfather St. Arnulf of Metz." I find this funny, to say the least... So, Jews for Jesus are Christian? I didn’t know that. I remember hearing them when I was at Berkeley, in California.
