Your periodic reminder that “Judeo-Christian” is not a real thing, it’s just Christians trying to hide their antisemitism

Reposted from Audrey

A proposed law would allow officials to withhold 25% of state funding from school districts if they don't enforce daily "Judeo-Christian" prayers

Like Roebuck in Sears-Roebuck.

There's no such thing as Judeo-Christian. The belief systems are not compatible in any way. In the second place, I was in grade school when the state imposing a religion was ruled unconstitutional. Even today's SCOTUS would not allow this.

bliterally.bsky.social•13 days ago

it just means "not muslim"

pottymouthpup.bsky.social•13 days ago

I am so sick of Christians using that term and being ignorant that it is not a real thing

pottymouthpup.bsky.social•13 days ago

also, I bet you that they won't allow kids/parents to opt out of either reciting the pledge or whatever Christian prayer they decided to shove down people's throats

Judeo Christian is a term I associate with Zionism.

bgrueskin.bsky.social•13 days ago

Jews almost never use the phrase.

They're just bigots in a cult.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

No more red state welfare!

So tired of blue state federal funds being used and controlled by racist magats in these poo holes..

bogyankee.bsky.social•13 days ago

Does that seem like the state establishing (a particular) religion to you? 🤔

bogyankee.bsky.social•13 days ago

Imma gonna open up a Madrasa* in Birmingham** and hoover*** up state voucher $$$

*Orthodox Unitarian
**the greatest city in Alabam, you can travel 'cross this entire land, ain't no place like Birmingham
***vacuum, not crash the economy, but why not both 🤷

revchrisbooth.bsky.social•13 days ago

yep. a concept created to try and get Protestant, Catholic and Jewish folks voting as a conservative bloc

coleraineyid.bsky.social•13 days ago

You mean anti-Muslim surely

cog1.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’d like to see him name a Jewish prayer.

Fuck Christian Values

It is a real political movement that has come to define American policy and politics via exclusionary pluralism, in which right wing Christians accept the acculturation of Jews and in turn use that as cover to attack women, LGBTQIA people, and other minorities.

This!!!!!

michael-w-busch.bsky.social•13 days ago

Reed Ingram, the Alabama state legislator responsible for this, has publicly stated that he wants to force people to profess prayers of his own particular variety of Christianity.

Do not fall for the pretense otherwise.

ttpphd.bsky.social•13 days ago

What pretense exactly do you think there is here? It all seems out in the open...

michael-w-busch.bsky.social•13 days ago

My point here is just that this particular offender has been quite explicit about his not including Jewish folks in "Judeo-Christian".

ttpphd.bsky.social•13 days ago

That is in fact already baked in to the movement

ttpphd.bsky.social•13 days ago

From the dissertation: "Ultimately, though, this is a story of how Christian conservatives imagined Jews and the nation; and from antisemitic to philosemitic, their views often homogenized “the Jews” or stripped Jews of agency."

chanda.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thank you!!! It’s so irritating!!!

ronhogan.bsky.social•13 days ago

And they can’t say “Abrahamic” because then they’d have to let the Muslims in.

postingtreyf.bsky.social•13 days ago

And the 3-4 others Abrahamic religions.

ronhogan.bsky.social•13 days ago

Now you’re just confusing them. 😉

lonsuder.bsky.social•13 days ago

christianity presupposes that judaism is obsolete. it's like marxist-leninists believing that all interpretations of marxism outside of leninism are errant (at best).
