Over the past two decades, far too many citizens of the United States have willingly surrendered their rights and freedoms and now they are on the cusp of being unrestorable. This erosion and voluntary forfeiture have empowered the ruling elites/radical left. Ominous societal conditions have been created that risk national dissolution or a civil war.

I think a large number of people would willingly go along with dissolution. I once proposed splitting the US into four smaller countries.

Faggot author says America was founded on judeo-Christian principles, that isn't a real thing.

I looked it up in the article. It comes from this section:

The Lack of a Shared Culture: An increasingly sizable portion of the American populace believes this nation is not exceptional and in fact it is irredeemable. Its founding is flawed and its history rife with atrocities that are due to the Judeo-Christian underpinning of its founding documents. The rest of the citizenry passionately does not agree, and there is no middle ground.

To me, that says one side believes that the founding documents were inspired by Judeo-Christian beliefs / practices / sentiments and those documents are the reason this country is evil, while the other side believes those very same documents are what makes the country exceptional.

Are you saying that the men who wrote the documents weren't inspired by those beliefs / practices / sentiments or that there is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian worldview (for lack of a better word) at all?

Genuine question. Not sarcasm.

judeo-Christian as a word itself, they're antonyms.

OK, thank you. I agree that the term has very little real meaning and is often overused. (Kind of like "fossil fuels.") I have always thought it came from the idea that the Old Testament of the Bible included texts that were based on Jewish texts, but that doesn't mean Jews and Christians share the same beliefs.

I would go so far as to say that the Founders based their writings on predominantly Christian ethics and beliefs, and to state that Judaism had much direct impact on them is incorrect.

That said, the author's point was more along the lines I stated - it relates to the chasm that separates the two opposing viewpoints, however historically inaccurate the phase is.

judaism is like 700 years old. Islam is a bit older but only a few hundred years.

"jews" weren't in the bible" pharisees were. Look it up. That's jews. Judeans were in the bible. Jesus was a Judean, not a jew. This is where the entire jew lie stems from. Read Rev 3:9, you'll know the bit I mean when you read it and then you'll know I'm right.

100% agree Western theology underpinned the founding. Even if specific people were not Christian they still believed in a god. Jefferson bible, deists etc.
