Kabala influenced my decision to convert to Judaism but ultimately the Bible and gemara kept me going until I hit mikvah. When I was trying to get published in Cracked (got published a couple times and found their editorial standards ridiculous) I pitched an article on converting to Judaism and one of my listed items was "You will have an opinion on Israel and you will fight" - I didn't say if it was a negative or positive opinion but the feedback was "I know a Jew and he never talks about Israel" - Cracked really turned to shit in its later years but the rot of dudebro bullshit was always there.
