people who know nothing about judaism
everyone seems to think they're smart by talking about 'Judeo-Christian' beliefs or by constantly inferring the supposed jewish origins of Christianity,
or by using terms like 'JCI'(judeo-christian-islamic) as an umbrella term for some beliefs, mostly beliefs that are virtually entirely Christian but for some reason, people think its clever to say that they are also Jewish and Islamic.
They usually talk about ideas like the devil, hell, and eternal damnation unless you follow the dogma as being judeo-christianity or part of both Judaism's and Christianity. Christians seem to use the term alot but jews never do and many of them object to the term and the concept. Christians and alot of other people seem to think that Judaism's is Christianity minus Jesus...but my opinion is that christianity and judaism are two radically different religions separated by radically different traditions, history, philosophy, etc. I don't even think its correct to say that jews and christians (and muslims), 'all worship the same god'.
Also, I don't see the significance in pointing out that christianity's beleifs about god or the divine are derived from judaism. I don't even think its a very accurate statement.
There don't seem to be many jews on totse or at least religious ones or ones knowledgeable about their own religion. Its almost like judaism is the only religion where people will not actually listen to its adherents when it comes to what its about but rather their own false 'knowledge' and assumptions.
