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.
I hate how retardedly boomer all the articles are on there. They sometimes make good points then they ruin it by pretending that the federal supremacists were the good guys in the civil war, or similar for the Allies in WW2. Completely retarded.
