Should We Make Conversion Easier?

Question:
If you would make conversion a bit easier, many more non-Jews would join us.

Why do you insist on a long and difficult conversion process, when you are closing the door to many potential converts?
_____________
Answer:
I would like to nominate you, to be the next prime-minister. You have come up with a brilliant formula, that could greatly benefit the world.

You argue, that the Jewish people would grow, if only it were easier to become Jewish. Let's apply that logic to some other scenarios, and most of society's problems could easily be solved.
- Poverty could be reduced immediately - simply lower the poverty line.
- There would be many more millionaires around, if you didn't need so much money to be one.
- The crime rates would drop dramatically, if we just legalize criminal activity.
- If we dropped the average life-expectancy from 70 to 50, people would live longer.

Either Judaism is truth, or it is not. If it is truth, then truth can't be saved by diluting it. And if it isn't, why bother saving it at all?
___________
The road to conversion is a challenging one.

Jewish law doesn't make it easy to convert, because becoming a Jew is a serious commitment.
If someone is not ready for that commitment, then they shouldn't convert.

But breaking the laws, to allow quickie conversions, makes a joke of the whole thing. If a law can be changed, then what significance does it have, in the first place?

To paraphrase Groucho: "I wouldn't join a club, that changed the rules to let me in."
