re: #129 Obdicut

No, I don’t. Are you unaware of the origins of the term? It really did start as a consciously political term. It’s continued as one.

To the extent that it has any decent meaning, it’s about how Puritans hearkened back to the old testament to build on their values, and saw themselves as the inheritors of that old tradition. They didn’t, of course, consult rabbis or any, you know, Jews, in order to construct this “Judeo-Christian” framework of thought. So not really so much ‘Judeo’. More just Christian.

Your hostility to the term is strange, since it is certainly not an anti-Semitic term and in common usage is used to unite Jews and Christians rather than to divide them.
Try not to let the Beck craziness get your Jew-Fu all twisted up.
