    One man's proselytizing is another man's dinner party....

    To say Judaism is non-proselytizing is on-it's-face true, but in fact,
    Judaism has very strict and severe steps that it takes to spread and
    continue, not the least of which the maternal lineage. Just because jews
    don't go door-to-door, don't mean they don't have methods of distribution.
