When an air force general uses a term like Judeo-Christian that is worrying. The brainwashing runs high. There's no such thing as Judeo-Christian. Judaism and Christianity are vastly different religions albeit related. It's a propaganda term to create an emotional tie with the US and Israel. No one says Judeo-Islam or Judeo-Mormon because it's idiotic.
- You could talk about abrahamic religions, that encompasses Judaism, Christianism, and Islamism because in theory all three worship the same God, but of course they are never grouped like that because they don't want to be related with Muslims.
  
  Also the Cristian and Jewish holy books both contain the Old Testament stories.
- The Air Force has had an evangelical problem for a long time.
  
  This becomes clear after spending any amount of time in Colorado Springs
  
  Oxygen deprivation.
  
  Can confirm.
  My uncle used to fly F-15s for the Air NG, and about 10 or 15 years ago when he had to retire for medical reasons (turns out pulling G’s all the time is bad for your back), he just broke evangelical and is now a fundamentalist pastor.
- I came in here to say just this. I'm a Jewish clergyman, so I deal with this kind of shit a lot. The term isn't just brainwashing; it's actively seeking to erase Judaism as part of Christianity. It's shit like this, combined with Christian Nationalism, which makes me jumpy at first when someone identifies as a Christian.
  
  From an armchair political science hot take, it signals something akin to worldwide NATO, inclusive rather than anti-semetic.
  Certainly tons of baseless anti semetic crap does exist, i just don't see this concept that way.
  
  On its face, I'd agree, but the term is used almost exclusively by the hyper-right wing. No one outside of that sphere uses the term (at least as far as I've experienced).
  
  My public high school and college courses did.
  It has been a very common academic term for many decades.
  
  Maybe it's regional or a recent change; it's been a minute since I was in high school, and my university studies were not in the humanities.
  
  Perhaps. It was mid 90s, at the onset of the Politically Correct era.
  And i went to an engineering school, but they had us take humanities courses so we would be well rounded and able to communicate good and stuff.
- 100% agreed. These people only care about Jews in so far as they are useful political props. Ask the members of the Tree of Life synagogue or the passengers of the MS St Louis how much of "Judeo-Christian" society we are.
- God I appreciate you and this comment so much. Thank you for acknowledging something us Jews suffer to point out constantly.
- Also 100% agreed. If anyone really wants a more inclusive term with positive vibes, i already read ''abrahamic heritage'' , to include jews, christians and muslims going for the commom ties of the mutually recognized first patriarch. It was a random french scholar though, but maybe we can gain traction. God (the abrahamic god) would be pleased.
- This motherfucker drops bombs where he is told. The person you need to worry about is the guy who tells him where to drop the bombs.
  
  you need to worry about is the guy who tells him where to drop the bombs.
  Is the answer God? I feel like thats the right answer. Please lord correct me if I am wrong.
