	Judeo-Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judeo-Christian (or Judaeo-Christian) is a term used to describe the body of concepts and values which are thought to be held in common by Judaism and Christianity, and typically considered (along with classical Greco-Roman civilization) a fundamental basis for Western legal codes and moral values.
		The term Judeo-Christian values is commonly used in the West, and many Muslim scholars view this term as emblematic of a disconnect between Western-culture Christianity and Islam.
		Building on this, Christians believe in the authority and authenticity of the Torah (five books of Moses), Tanakh (The Hebrew Bible), yet become a distinct religion because they reject the Jewish oral law, and add the New Testament, and recognize Jesus as both a messiah and as being part of God himself, in the Trinity.

	Wikinfo \| Judeo-Christian tradition
		Generally speaking, most Protestant Christians still believe that Jews must ultimately accept that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah and the incarnation of God, and that Jesus is the only correct way to have a relationship with God in order to reach heaven.
		Christians and Jews relate to each other better today than they have in the past, but anti-Semitism among Christians - and a corresponding hatred by some Jews - has by no means disappeared completely.
		However, many Christians are anxious to point out that their religion ultimately sprang from Judaism, and some of these wish to reclaim their roots in the Biblical, pre-Christian practice of Judaism.

	The Debate Link: How Did I Become a Christian All of the Sudden?
		Prager is not new to the fallacious grouping of "Judeo" and "Christian".
		Worse yet, since Christians, being the dominant religion, have far more access to media and other forums to assert their message than Jews have to disassociate from it, the risk is very high that Jews will become seen as popular accomplices to unjust policies.
		However, since the main text of Christianity (The N. Test.) isn't accepted by Jews, and the main exegesis of the Tanakh (Talmud/Mishnah/Responsa etc) isn't accepted by Christian (and for that matter, since even in the shared text their are serious doctrinal and translation disputes), the majority of the traditions pass each other by.

		The purpose of it is to promote religious liberty.” Christians must recognize this assault on their worldview and take a stand based on the exclusive truth of Jesus Christ, he said.
		Many secularists assault the Christian worldview because “they want to supplant Christian values with their values, and Christians are in the way of that,” he said.
		Christianity gives rise to liberty, the idea that we’re made in God’s image and therefore entitled to happiness, dignity, freedom.” The doctrine of sin teaches that humans are fallen and that sin must be restrained by governing forces, said Limbaugh, the brother of popular radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

		Like it or not, the American republic was founded upon values that were derived ultimately from the heritage of the Old and New Testaments.
		In principal contrast to the Sharia is a Judeo-Christian value that may seem paradoxical at first glance: secularism.
		After all, Pope Pius IX in 1864 did condemn the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Whether or not Kennedy’s answer was adequately formulated, he took the question seriously and reaffirmed his commitment to our secular government.

		The only common value I see is the institutionalized habit of tearing down the holy sites of other faiths to build monuments and congregations of your own.
		Common values are in the eye of the beholder, but we share many.
		Do keep in mind; though, that just as most Christians and Jews do not follow their books 'strictly', many Muslims (even some clerics) take their religion a good deal more loosely than the more radical clerics would like (especially in SE Asia).

	The case for Judeo-Christian values: Part IV : Thunderbay IMC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		One is that with the denial of the authority of higher values such as biblical teachings, people increasingly make moral decisions on the basis of how they feel.
		Judeo-Christian values posit that human beings, not animals, are created in God's image and, therefore, human life is infinitely more sacred than animal life.
		That is why people estranged from Judeo-Christian values (including some Christians) support programs such as "Holocaust on Your Plate," the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) campaign that teaches that there is no difference between the slaughtering of chickens and the slaughtering of the Jews in the Holocaust.

	WorldNetDaily: The case for Judeo-Christian values, part 5
		Christians have always had the choice to reject the Jewish roots of Christianity (which, when done, enabled Christian anti-Semitism), to ignore those roots, or to celebrate and embrace them.
		That is how many Christians were able to rationalize their anti-Semitism, and that is why Europe self-identified as "Christian," not as "Judeo-Christian" as America has.
		But it is the greatness of Judeo-Christian values that they combine the best of both religious traditions and cast aside some of their weaker aspects.

		The single and most important difference between Christian atrocities and Muslim atrocities is that the founder of one (Jesus Christ) did not advocate violence in his name.
		Christians are human beings, and even if Jesus was himself a pacifist (some would argue otherwise), I think it's pretty clear he didn't expect even his original followers to live up to his own impossibly high standards (much less the followers who came later).

		Christianity battled pagan animism, ridding nature of its spirits and its sacredness; as Christianity triumphed, the older inhibitions to the exploitation of nature crumbled.
		Modern Christians, neo-Christians and post-Christians in the West all share the Western attitudes toward nature--that humans are not part of the natural process, but are superior to nature, which is for human use.
		Because Western Christianity developed strong moral approval of technological innovation, more men of talent in the West put more resources, energy and imagination into the advancement of technology than was the case among Greek Christians, or indeed in any other society, including the Chinese.

	Regarding the term Judeo-Christian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The term "Judeo-Christian" was invented during World War II, when Christians started realizing how rude it was to rail against the Nazis for violating "Christian decency" since so many of the Nazi victims were Jewish.
		Unfortunately, all too often, that word merely replaces the word "Christian" without any deeper look at the underlying concepts, thus evoking a popular image that Judaism and Christianity have more in common than they actually do.
		Instead, it is much closer to the truth to state that from the matrix of ideas surrounding the end of the Second Temple era emerged two religions, Christianity and rabbinical Judaism, both of which claimed continuity with the original religion.

		Christianity quite easily and naturally incorporated the values of that world and transported those values first to Europe and then to America.

		In the Judeo-Christian value system, God is the source of moral values and therefore what is moral and immoral transcends personal or societal opinion.
