.................

Because circumcizing the men would be a little more difficult.
OTOH, many of them would then have Jewish mothers.

I'm not digging up anyone. They're not going to care so much what we
do to the women. I think we should get the men too and only use the
water. It will take them a while before they realize the conversion
is incomplete. Heck, we can tell them that for the dead, only water
is necessary. Explain it in Hebrew and they'll never know.

One can deduce from the Torah that a live male Jew must be
circumcised, although there are even rabbinic exceptions to
that, although not many. But one cannot deduce what the
requirements are for a dead person to be converted.


AFAIK the Mormons are the only religion that has the concept of converting the dead
