With regard to "Judeo Christian":
The 10 Commandments are Jewish.
The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish.
The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery.
The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy.
The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West.
This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable.
And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term:
Christ Himself was a Jew.
So much noise online regarding the term "judeo-Christian." Guys -- in academia it's simply the term that describes the combined corpus of Old and New Testaments. The Jewish heritage of the Hebrew scriptures combined with the New Testament. That's it. I know you want there to be some conspiracy but there isnt, that's the way we're using it. It has nothing to do with geo-politics or a one world order.

"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided"
There are reeded lakes on the route out of Egypt that periodically strong eastern winds will drain and expose the lakebed.
The same path Moses would have crossed on the way out of Egypt.
The Hebrew "yam suf" translates to both Red Sea and Sea of Reeds.
Why would Moses have gone 80 miles out of the way to the Red Sea when the Sea of Reeds was on the direct path?
I apologize. The truth is often not as exciting as the myth.

If he turnes out to be a groyper, so be it. I'm ready for a conservation about excising the fascists same as the communists.
Both ideologies deserve similar scrutiny.

Thinking you can truly do "whatever you want" in private and it have no effect on your life is a blatant lie we've been peddling as a society for decades.
Porn for example is done in private, and no one seriously disputes the detrimental effect it has on the mind and even the culture.
There's no sick behavior you can engage with in private and it not carry into the public and broader society. We're not robots that can flick a switch like that.

Sinks in your island are stupid.
Put your range in the island. No one stands at the sink anymore.

Atheism will lead to islamic dominance from population alone.
We need to restore the foundation of western values in a judeo-christian ethic.
Stop killing yourselves and your offspring. Start a family. Build the west.

How long does humanity need to wait before we think maybe christianity was wrong?
1000 years? 1 million?

Analogy. Thumbs are a biological adaptation, not an illusion.
They enable us to grasp things. Craft the world to our aid. Thumbs are not a law of nature, but a peak adaptation.
An organism that doesn't develop this capability is unlikely to reach our level of fitness.
Morality is also not an objective law of nature, but peak adaptation.
If you ignore it (like some suggest it's just a preference) is like cutting off your thumbs. You'll fail to survive.

I don't understand how "fingers in ears" behavior is spun as a virtue on the left.

This will always be the ultimate rebuttal of the "pay your fair share" crowd.
If you took that idea seriously, the rich would PAY LESS.

Hell is filled with nearly everyone that has ever existed, regardless of whether or not they're a good person.
Every living human being that has not heard of the biblical Jesus and not lived up to expectation.
We're talking a few hundred million out of 120 billion people, max.

Our choice.
Should we stare into the abyss? Or struggle to make sense of the world?
If you presuppose any action is better than no action, the latter is logically entailed.

Atheists: I get my morality from common sense.
Also Atheists: I have a right to kill myself and my child.

The best way to convert an atheist away from being an apologetic is to show them what atheism does on a societal scale.
How to convert them entirely? Well you have to argue for Christianity not from the perspective of truth and historicity, but faith, meaning, and purpose.
