What I termed as "stunning" was your assertion that Judeo-Christianity served as the country's theological foundation... (as if this were not painfully apparent, and perhaps bordering on redundant).

[JMJ333]

If only it were so. I spent 3 days arguing with LFD about the theological foundations of this country. Maybe you could help him out then since it so painfully apparent.

I like what Martin Luther taught--said..."pope self is the tyranny-devil" and "I'll smack that spirit-theory in the snout"!

What I termed as "stunning" was your assertion that Judeo-Christianity served as the country's theological foundation...

JMJ333 has indeed been trying to convince me that:
1. There is such a a thing as 'Judeo-Christianity.'
2. Our nation's laws and constitution are based on it.

I contend that none of our founding fathers were Jews, so this 'Judeo-' thing is meaningless. I also contend that the Magna Carta, the works of Locke and Montesquieu, and the examples of the English Civil War and the Puritan theocracies were the primary influences on the Founding Fathers. The Bible, NT or OT, was not the foundation for any of the documents or structures of this nation.

If you care to pass the time by arguing about it, I'm game. But separated from any contemporary issue, it's just an intellectual sport. (Like those endless American Civil War debates).
