Ah, don't worry. With that attitude, I highly doubt that anyone who is at all religious would be interested.
Most often, a simple "no, thank you" is quite sufficient when offered something you don't fancy. Adding something akin to "ewwwwww, NO, how could you possibly enjoy that? It's ridiculous!" is rude and immature.
Really? I didn't think anyone was offering me something I didn't fancy. If that were the case then I would have declined the offer because I'm already married.
What you may not have understood about this place is that people come here to engage in discussions. Simply answering "yes" or "no" doesn't make for much of a discussion. Answering and stating reasons, on the other hand, does.
I was pissed when after me being married for 6 years or so, my good friend told me that I screwed up the Jewish bloodline. That all my ancestors before me were 100% Jewish and I screwed it up. I told her to "f**k off" and she never forgave me for that.
Okay,you really like a girl/guy or you're in love with a guy/girl who happens to be Jewish,but you're not Jewish(It could be any religious,I just choose Judaism) he/she tells you that you're not the man/woman for him/her because you're not Jewish,unless you convert to Judaism. What would you do?
Wish her luck--and move on.
If I could convert to being Amish, I'd be willing, but I've never heard of anyone converting to their faith. They're not much for letting outsiders in in that fashion.
I would not convert nor would I expect anyone to convert for me. This is what people should be considering and talking about BEFORE their relationship becomes serious, if their faith is important to them and if they plan on having children. BTW, I don't think it is bigotted at all.
Ok, ok I get it. Basically I have no hope of ever being fully accepted into a Jewish religious community, even if I lived by their rules, converted, and shared the same moral values... damn my bloodline. :P
Actually, that's not true. Religious Jews who follow rules don't really care about bloodlines as long as you convert. There is even a rule that once a person converts, the subject of the conversion cannot ever be brought up (unless the convert starts dating a kohen).

My friends son converted to Judaism to marry his girlfriend. Within a year they were seperated. I would never change my religion and I would never try and make someone change theirs too.

I'm not religious but it would seem to me that one's faith is, or should be, an unwavering and core aspect of your character. A willingness to 'surrender' it for a mortal relationship makes me question your faith and whether you are being 'faithful' as a matter of convenience.
It would also make me question the person asking me to make such a 'conversion'.
When somebody let's religion get in the way they are either over-religious or are trying to make a polite excuse instead of saying straight up they don't have the same feelings, in either case I'd move on...
Basically when faith is more than a thing on the side I see it as a red flag.
No way am I going to let someone dictate to me that I need to change my religion.
