3/4 of the Christian Bible is the Tanakh, and our prophet was Jewish. But, sure, there's no such thing as “Judeo-Christian”.https://twitter.com/TheRaDR/status/968858393191514112 …

Given how little a role Jewish theology plays in Christian theology, I think the complain is quite on point. I'm not sure Jews would even recognize Christianity as monotheistic, if they weren't being charitable.

Trinity Forgiveness of sin through a person Original sin Baptism Resurrection Judgement What am I missing? Which of those are Jewish? I'll grant you the Jewish idea of an afterlife is not TOO dissimilar, in some views, from the Christian one, so there's a point in your favor.

Well, baptism is just a bastardized mikvah ritual. Resurrection is Jewish as well. And yes, I agree with you -- I don't consider Christianity monotheistic. Even putting my spin on the Trinity aside, it's hard for me (as a Jew) to see how Catholics' praying to Saints complies.

I remember reading some story about olympic figure skater Tara Lipinkski decades ago, about her and her mother's obsession with some Saint (Theresa?) and Roses, and how they'd pray to her for X, Y, Z... My mind boggled at it.

yeah, wife is entirely correct: "folk catholicism" is not the same thing as catholicism. You can't judge something by its flakey 99 IQ members.

That said, folk Catholicism gave us Día de Muertos, piñatas, a gritty annual representation of the Passion and exploding Judases, so I'll give it a pass.
