Okay, now I *do* have a Jewish-related question.

[conuly]

I vaguely know who the Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are. I'm curious, though - the few times I've heard them mentioned, it's been with some hostility. Why?

That's part of why I hate them. While some of the actual Jews for Jesus are perfectly nice dupes, the organization is, IMO, hypocritical. If you truly believe that the divine being says the best way to live is to keep the Torah and also follow the teachings of Jesus, then why not convert both Jews and Christians? The fact that they only try to convert Jews, to me, says they are just trying to stealthily turn Jews into Christians and the entire organization is built on deceipt.

I have a great deal of respect for many religions and many Christians I know, but I like my religion to be honest.
