    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.

      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.

      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.

    Well I just lost some faith in the United States Air Force. Now I’m worried if we can trust them with General Electric 2.1 megaton hydrogen bombs. The USAF has more than a few.

      The US military has a wide range of generals, all the way from people who can barely stop themselves from dribbling while staring at a wall for hours as entertainment, to actual competent ones.

      At least this guy is just a moron, some of them are very dangerous. For example US Army General Wesley Clark, who ordered someone to basically start WW3, which didn’t go through because several officers refused to listen to him. Then he ran for president as a democrat, withdres. He later started a consulting firm and now runs a “boutique investment bank”.

        The British commander of the Kosovo Force, General Mike Jackson, however, refused to block the Russians through military action saying “I’m not going to start the Third World War for you.”[80][81] Jackson has said he refused to take action because he did not believe it was worth the risk of a military confrontation with the Russians, instead insisting that troops led by Captain James Blunt encircle the airfield.

        No way! James Blunt, of all people, appears in this story?! You couldn’t make it up!

          Huh, I didn’t click the Wikipedia link until I read your comment because I assumed it was a name coincidence. Man, that guy has had one hell of a life.

    Judeo-Christian is such a bullshit made-up term to rope in multiple gullible idiots into the fold.

          Idk about it being a racist term in general.

          1st of all because Islam is a religion not a race, and we are dealing with Christianity and Judism which are also religions.

          And yes, it is a term to group 2 of 3 Abrahamic religions. One that is an offshoot of the other.

          Islam is different in that it rejects much of the Old Testament.

          So its a term that refers to the group of people that believe the Old Testament.

          Its a term. People have used it when making racist policies, but that doesn’t make the word racist.

            It’s a term invented and popularized by racist people to make racist policies (yes even Orwell - “Shooting an Elephant” is sus af) . There is already a term that refers to all three Abrahamic religions! By specifically excluding Islam, they are able to exclude the Arab world and all those nonwhite Muslims and make them into an Other. It’s an underpinning ethical framework for shit like the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, overthrowing Ghaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood and plunging North Africa into chaos, and ethnically cleansing Palestine.

            It needs to fucking stop.

              So people can never refer to judism amd christianity by them selves?

              People should be able to talk about them in any combination of one, two, or three that they want. Thats how open intellectual shit happens.

              I think your passion has clouded your logic and debate.

                People are one thing, but the fucking Pentagon shouldn’t be talking about it! There’s nothing intellectual about this shit.

          Islam has a completely different code of ethics and morals compared to Judaism and Christianity. That much is self evident.

            lol I bet you actually believe that

            Christians 1000 years ago were basically the same and in many places in Latin America and Africa they still are.

            And well, they the nailed Jesus to a tree for being a trouble maker.

            Y’all’s the same.

              I’m not a christian, and if I remember correctly, all three abrahamic religions have changed over 1000 years. Christianity for the better while Islam has stayed stagnant in its views. Popular christian sects that accept new, western values are available seemingly everywhere while the same cannot be said about Islam.

                Other popular Christian sects want to torture women to death instead of letting them get abortions and want to specifically kill me for being trans.

                Different assholes, all the same shit.
