...are far from me? I have been Christian but I would rather be Jewish because I think it's more authentic than Christianity.
Christians please don't take offense to this I love you no matter what you believe in. It's a matter of pondering and believing that this is what I really want to do. I am not Jewish by heritage but still would like to convert. The nearest synagogue is far from me. Is there still a way to convert?
 
Why not convert to Islam which is sort of like Judaism and for the whole mankind? Conversion is instantaneous without approval from any Rabbi or Mullah. Your beliefs are ALWAYS between you and God. The motto of Islam is, "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is His Messenger." That's all you need to find pure monotheism. You don't need "classes." All you need is a spiritual connection to your Creator!

Always remember: truth is simple and easy. Falsehood is made up of layers and layers of distorted and contradictory facts.

Judaism was supposed to be for only ethnic Jews and people that Jews, out of their kindness, would welcome into the faith. In Israel, your conversion can be rescinded by Rabbis. Why not have a faith in which your relationship is directly with God?
 
answer: you will have to attend a class at the synagogue where you are converting to in addition to attending synagogue on Friday nights or Saturdays during the day (and the holidays). Part of converting is becoming active in the community and there is a LOT to learn. Class usually take at least 3-4 months. Converting to Conservative Judaism also requires you to begin keeping kashrut.

Conversion takes a minimum of 2 years in Conservative Judaism.
 
That's like taking one giant step backwards!!

If you convert to Judaism, you will not be saved by grace, but by works and following the law - all 600+ of them...

Jesus is more authentic than any religion, if you have a problem with Christianity, then go to HIM, not those who crucified him (I don't mean the Jews necessarily, but the religious).
