The irony in the term "Judeo-Christian"

It is all in the title. It always bugs me when religious apologists, christian nationalists or those playing identity politics invoke this term. I mean, what is jew in past and contemporary societies with a strong christian heritage? They always says "it was in the OT!!". If we are not to consider the OT (unless for the "I am your Lord and you will worship only me" bit). Why put two third of pages in the Bible if you don't care about it?

Lastly, it seems to me very hypocritical for societies that persecuted Jews for 2000 years to say that.

Yea - OT my ass. Judo came

Yea - OT my ass. Judo came from Japan. It should be Judo -Buddhists or Judo -Shintoists. But as soon as a few religious Americans started practicing they have to make a big deal about it and now you get Judo-Christians. The ignorant Christians don't even realize that the Jews have their own martial art. The Jewish (Biblical) martial art is based on the Jewish Alphabet. Get a frigging clue. There are no Judo Christians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV8S1jw9VN4

Judo is very cool by the way.

Judo is very cool by the way. Are you talking about Krav Maga? it is purported to be very harsh. For the judo-thing, it seems a cute word for... some people.

@Cog Re: Judo Christians

Hmmm.... A fight between a Judo Christian and a Karate Catholic. Wonder who would win? Oo-oo-oo!... What about a Muay Tai Muslim? Or a Jiu Jitsu Jehovah's Witness? Oh! Maybe even a MMA Mormon? Wow! Imagine the carnage! It could be like a World Wide Ultimate Religious Fighting Championship Smackdown!.... Oh... Wait...

Edit to add: Oops! Almost forgot about the Kung Fu Krishna.

Hmmm.... I think I'm gonna put my money on the Aikido Episcopalian. Especially if they allow Steven Seagal to be their representative.

Krav Maga? It's not Jewish. It is a salad of mixed martial arts. The real Jewish martial art was in the link.

You're not missing much. (I would stick it in with the fake martial arts. The instructor is about as graceful as a penguin dancing ballet.)
