This is getting STUPID.
Converts to Judaism, in historical times, were absorbed into the Jewish people, or even converted ONLY to be able to marry into it. Malays and African Americans were converted to Catholicism in utterly different and non-analogous ways. Honestly, are you really so intellectually challenged, or are you just playing with us?
Judaism is an ethnic religion. The Jews are an ethnic category. Perhaps verging more on the superethnos level than strictly ethnos. But the blood connections are there.
Why don't you use a little of your Jew Gold to get yourself and your dad a 23 and Me genetics test. I'm sure you'll find some distinct markers linking you to your 'co-religionists'.

The difference is that Judaism is still largely confined to the same ancestral Jewish population that it ever was with few European converts whilst Christianity is of the majority.
I think Judaism is seen as weird, that is probably one of the reasons for its lacklustre appeal to Europeans.

You said: "'Jewish culture' does not exist, because there are people from all over the world who practice the Jewish faith."
An example of this logic: 'English culture doesn't exist because there are people from all over the world who have embraced English culture.
Therefore, English culture doesn't exist.Yes?

I agree with you for the most part. Judaism would be seen as less weird if it wasn't such a rarity. Jewish people have only really started fully assimilating over the past couple of hundred years, and there's a huge gap between assimilated Jews and insular religious Jews. I would not consider the latter to be white/European by any stretch.
