re: #66 Pie-onist Overlord

“Judeo-Christian” is a mythical beast, like the Unicorn & Sasquatch.

Jews have more in common with Muslims than with Christians.

Yeah, the more I read of that book on antisemitism, the more I think to myself, “Judeo-Christian? Umm… NO.”

I’m reading it slowly, so I’ve only gotten past the Babylonians and destruction of the First Temple, the initial diaspora, the Elephantine Jews in Egypt, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Jews of Alexandria. I’m just getting to the Romans, Jesus (a.s.) and post-Jesus destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans. You guy’s history so sooooo freaking long & complicated. Sheesh.

But, yeah, back on point, I’m not sensing any special strong bond with Christians anywhere yet—not culturally or theologically.
