This is one of Ketzeleh’s concerned expressions. She isn’t comfortable on my bed 😿. I had to keep luring her back with treats and a ribbon toy. #JewishPride#Cats#Ketzeleh#CatsOfMastodon
There is no such thing as the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is a figment of the supersessionist imagination. It is a term meant to co-opt Jews and Jewish history into a #Christian narrative to give legitimacy to that narrative. It is a term that erases #Jews and #Judaism. Everyone should stop using that term.
@antonia@serge@littlemiao In America this is just common knowledge. It is said that the country has roots in Judeo-Christian values. Every single major Protestant branch in America holds this view too.
I’m kind of surprised that this isn’t something you haven’t just heard in passing even in Germany. Like it’s so common of a statement that you can find it in sci-fi non-religious programs like Stargate SG-1. Teal’c bugs O’Neil about it at least once or twice being an alien living on Earth.
Most of the thought boils down to Christianity having important works and figures from Hebrew history and culture in their Bible. It is composed of works translated for the Greeks from Torah, Tanakh, their own Testament, Epistles, and a variety of apocryphal works depending on who is reading it.
@robbienorlyn@antonia@serge@littlemiao Mostly I’ve heard it from right wingers trying to impose some sort of “morality” on the allegedly non-moral people they don’t like.
#JudeoChristian is a term that attempts to allege a harmonious history of European Christians and Jews. This has no basis. Europe has a long antisemitic history, obviously.
Jews have a longer history of living in harmony with Muslims than they do European Christians. The idea of a “Judeo-Christian” culture is ridiculous.
