There are similarities, but also profound differences. <br /><br />To me the "Judeo-Christian" concept is a sign of our lack of confidence in Christian civilisation. It's like apologising for Christianity.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-23199166128026552382015-11-17T16:06:35.843+00:002015-11-17T16:06:35.843+00:00I think you might also be ignoring vast areas in w...I think you might also be ignoring vast areas in which the two are similar.

They're two different animals. Conflating the two is demeaning to both Judaism and Christianity. European civilisation was historically a Christian civilisation.<br /><br />I'm not knocking Jews, just pointing out that Lord Pearson is ignoring the vast differences between two entirely different religions and cultural traditions.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
