I mean, converting to an idolatrous religion so clearly puts you outside the borders of peoplehood that the on-the-books response to it is EXECUTION.
That’s not a response I’m okay with, but it’s notable that the contemporary Jewish response to it is *less* harsh.

Christians are all out here insisting that Jews MUST consider Christians with Jewish ancestry to be Jews (and by extension, their Christianity to be Judaism) because they want to define Judaism solely in terms of blood (which, btw, is literally a Nazi position).
And it’s fascinating that they insist, that in 2021, Jews can’t kick out members of the community that practice idolatry, as if this is some sort of new development, when the Torah literally says we should remove them from the community BY KILLING THEM.
Just rejecting them from the community, and leaving open the chance to come back, isn’t some sort of recent harshness toward Christians; it’s literally a *softening* of the on-the-books mandate.
Like I don’t know how to explain to you that Gentiles declaring—over and against what Jews are saying—who Jews must and musn’t consider part of our communities has always been and continues to be colonialism.
It’s none of your business.
