Judeo Christian is quite litterally the biggest oxymoron being so casually overused today. Christianity is true Israel the gospel is clear about this and the early church knew this. Judaism is the Law flipped on its head. The inverse. They are juxtaposed. Diametrically opposed.
I don’t recall any mention of Judaism in the founding of America, but Christianity was all over the placehttps://twitter.com/NeverWasABot/status/1155545760097865729 …

Religious freedom is what was all over the place. "Judaism" is not mentioned in founding, but neither is "Christianity." One w/out the other?! Impossible to imagine founding without Ten Commandments. For example: https://www.facebook.com/notes/john-andrew-lang/quotes-about-the-10-commandments-by-the-founding-fathers/10151506638046937 … More http://vftonline.org/TenC%204%20USA/UShistory/kirk.htm …

If it is good, then it's Judeo-Christian, if it's bad it's just Christian.

Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits wrote that "Judaism is Judaism because it rejects Christianity, and Christianity is Christianity because it rejects Judaism."

‘Judeo-Christian’ came into common usage with FDR. They’re conflicting ideologies because Jesus gave the sermon on the mount & overturned most of the precepts of the Old Testament/Torah & Jewish practices.

The US is a secular nation and that was always the intention of the founders.
-
Governed secularly, with laws built on the Christian belief system and culture of the people who inhabited it. These are inseparable from its original form, and every step away from that form has been an unmitigated disaster.

It is Judeo Christian because America was founded on Natural Law principals that are shared by these two religions. It’s not about religious culture or tradition.

The pilgrims (as indeed the Puritans in England as well) identified very much with the Jews of the old testament, and saw themselves as the new israelites. In their writings they often talked about America as "the promised land" or the "new jerusalem". Many of them knew Hebrew.

The old testament was the only thing judeo about the founding. And maybe some loans.

Græco/Hellenic-Roman/Latin, Anglo-Celtic, Teutonic-Britannic. These are the only terms which truly matter when describing the western world (along with elements of Christian thought and philosophy). The Judeo-hyphen as an expressive term for any sense of Europeanism needs to end.

So Haym Solomon's financing efforts with Robert Morris were for nothing? And would have the US won the War without Solomon's great efforts?
-
Because of Lafayette's contribution to the cause, do we then say that US has a Judeo-Christian-Franco culture?
-
France is a nationality, not a religion.
-
but the point is that just because a group of ppl were involved in the war effort, it doesn't necessarily mean the culture was influenced by them. As far as I can tell, we wouldn't describe US as having a judeo-christian-franco culture, in spite of the french contributions.
-
Of course not. But Christianity is derived from Judaism, and acknowledges the Old Testament & prophets.
-
that's different from saying that particular members of judaism has helped caused the US to have a judeo-christian culture, which is what i thought your mention of Solomon was trying to imply.
-
Then I mis-interpreted the initial statement. My bad.
-
No problem, pal, don't worry about it. *thumbs up*
