Absolutely! It's not a bad thing to tell someone that they don't need to convert to Judaism in order to be fulfilled as a person. However, if someone is still asking if praying to/through Jesus is valid, they aren't even close to ready for conversion. I asked her if she participates in a conversion program anywhere, and that's definitely a serious question. You cannot convert to Judaism by thinking through some questions that you find online. You have to do it through a community. If that's offensive, someone has a thin skin. It's not my problem.

Anyone claiming to receive a message from G-d, laid upon their heart could not be so thin skinned as to criticize the responses given by the Jewish members of this forum. Makes me doubt any sincerity.
I can't believe that you also said thin skinned! LOL - That's exactly what came out of my fingers in response to the above paragraph before getting to your words here!
