myrmepropagandistWhen people say "Judeo-Christian" I often find myself getting excited and looking for the "Judeo" part ... and not finding any.
Curious.
Paul Chernoff@futurebird As a Jew I agree. I think many Christians see Judaism as proto-Christianity and just assume that Jews are like Christians without understanding Judaism.
Andrew Benedict-Nelson@futurebird I think of this book literally every time I see the adjective. https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/god-and-harold-at-yale/#:~:text=First%2C%20it%20entails%2C%20as%20the,%2C%20he%20says%2C%20because%20%22Greek
Robee? Na! 🌈@futurebird Maybe it’s just a religious martial art?
Alon@futurebird The longstanding Judeo-Christian belief that the Jews killed Christ.
NiftyLinks@futurebird Cynically, I'd look for an absolutist reading of the Ten Commandments, selectively applied, plus a selective reading of (mainly) Leviticus, again selectively applied.
Minimaliste13@futurebird I fear that more often than not "Judeo-Christian culture" means "let us justify whatever arbitrary cultural privilege Whites enjoy and let us talk the minimal possible amount about cultures I don't know or don't like" (including, as you note, actual Jewish cultural heritage).
HighlandLawyer@futurebird You're mistaking "Judeo" as referring to Jewish; it's actually refering to Judas; thus "Judeo-Christian values" means those betraying everything Jesus taught.
(A bit unfair to Judas Iscariot I know)
Jens@futurebird its weird because its one of those things that really only exist in English.
"Judisk-Kristen" in my language sounds... well awkwardly forced. Although now that I think about it its like "cultural marxist". The right here are loaning things from the international right so stuff like "woke", "kulturmarxist" are squished in - and I am fairly certain one of them have tried out the "judeokristen" at some point.

Far as I can tell, they mostly mean selected highlights from Leviticus

Rev. Bussy Body of The Church of America MLM and Shooting Club@futurebird it's such a bad and meaning-negating oversimplification that the first thing i think of when i see that term now is this Stonetoss comic that used it ironically (and extremely antisemitically)
