re: The attacks on America’s Judeo-Christian foundation and how that founding came to be

Islam while also wrong at least venerates Jesus as a prophet,

Islam is full of shite, frick them too.

While it is popular these days to distinguish the differences between Christians and Jews, it is impossible to take a serious look at Christian philosophy and not see the importance of the Old Testament.

But if you read my post, I specifically said the religious influence was much more minimal.

It may be trendy, especially in Protestant circles, to devalue the Old Testament,

Protestants devaluing the OT? They're the ones disproportionately promoting the stupid pro-Israel stances.

However, while our institutions are Roman, our philosophy is a result of how Christianity profoundly took the writings of the Greeks and Romans and molded them into something wholly unique.

What, specifically did this have to do with the development of Western Culture?

Western Culture didn't really take off and start developing until the Church took a secondary role in society during this period. Now, that was necessary as the society rebuilt following the fall of Western Rome, but "Western Culture" developed outside of the church, once it lost power over society and we became less submissive to the church.

The influence of Judaism was even less present at this time, so I fail to see how it has any role in this cultural shift away from religion and into science, art, philosophy, etc.

Also, when describing America specifically, you have to get much more detailed than "Western Culture" and focus more on Anglo culture from Britain, which was distinct from its continental peers (and that divergence still remains).

Google says there are roughly 400 million people worldwide who speak Semitic languages spread over 40+ different countries. Israel has attacked five of them in the last 30 years. France, the UK, Russia, the US, and Turkey have all attacked at least 1-2 of the same 5 countries in that time frame.

So no, your question is not obvious.

You thought you had a clever little "gotcha" going that you probably read on some Joo-hating website, but if you're going to live by a technical definition you gotta die by that same definition.

And in that context the answer to your question is that no one has sat around compiling stats for who has killed the most people in over 40 different countries with Semitic speaking people.

And if I had to guess, it wouldn't be Israel, it would be us.

They certainly greatly influenced the decision.

Unduly?

More than any other ally situation?

People for some reason think it means the religious beliefs. That's what is inaccurate.

Then why isn't Islam included? Prior to Western culture developing, they were all present with roughly similar structures on values/government.

Also, during this time period, Islamic culture was the height of humanity for a few centuries. It was the "western culture" of its day (and they preserved a lot of the Greco-Roman texts that became the foundation of Western culture)

You missed a key word.

Go back

Reread.

No, I don't think I did, and I certainly don't care about your Joo-hate enough to go back and read anything you wrote again.

Another stellar piece by Prager U,

Lmaooooooo

Besides, we make up modern terms to explain history all the time. "Byzantine Empire" is a made up term to describe the Eastern Roman Empire. There was never actually a "Byzantine Empire", but no one seems to mind.

---

But the larger point is "Judeo-Christian" doesn't explain the history so why is it being used in such a way?

quote:

---

The Civil Law tradition is often called French (Napoleonic Code)

---

I think that's an American term only b/c of Louisiana, because we used the Napoleonic Code.

Everywhere in an actual civil system they will reference Byzantine, but that was predominantly based on Roman Law that existed prior to the schism.

quote:

indiscriminately

And that's the dumbest word you typed.

As if Israel has no reason to attack the nations it has attacked.

What a fricking moron.
