Naomi loses her husband and sons in Moab, land of idols. She instructs her sons' widows, Orpah and Ruth, to return to their homes. After all, they're still young and could find Moabite husbands. Exit Orpah. Naomi turns to face Bethlehem. Ruth steps up."I will go where you go, live where you live, die where you die. Your people shall be my people, your god, my god."
Moral: The choice to adopt a religion doesn't have to be attached to deeply held principles. Love and respect for another are quite enough sometimes.
