I grew up in a fairly religious Christian home. We went to church as a family every Sunday and I carry on these traditions with my kids now. One thing I’ve realized is that we as Christians have been brainswashed to hate Muslims for the sake of another country. I will never fall into this trap of hating Muslims or any religion for that matter. This is not what Christianity teaches us. It took me down a very dark path. To the point where I would see a Muslim and feel rage. And then I realized that we were conditioned. They are actually really nice people and share a lot of my values. Christ is king!
I will never hate Islam again!

"They" are not nice people. Not all muslims are nice much like all christians, jews, etc. Nice people and worse people are there in all religions.
If you want to change your opinion, how about not attributing pros & cons of a person to their religion?
Yes, there are always stereotypes of every religion and ethnicity.
Important to treat people as individuals and not hate entire groups based on some outliers.

You only speak for yourself. Beats me what version of Sunday School you went to...
can't see if this is sarcasm or a jibe or a real question
No, I don't think he should hate anyone because of their religion. He should like or dislike people based on their actions not religion
That was the point of his post, wasn't it?
There is only one God, and his name is Allah!
Now that is some deep seated hate. But hating them is wrong, wrong, wrong.Okay Christian

Muslim refugee in Germany: “I have been here for 3 years and I hate everyone. Germany is a country of infidels. I don’t care that they accepted me as refugee. A Muslim who doesn’t accept me is a million times better than a non-Muslim who accepts me.” That is their mentality...x.com
There seems to be a problem with understanding of this post - one of us is getting it wrong. Either ways, I don't feel like explaining any more here. Be good
Why, because they have as much hate as the racist right wingers on this board?Now that is some deep seated hate. But hating them is wrong, wrong, wrong.
You'll have to forgive Frank, he was a bit of a crayon eater as a child.
I don't think Christians have been brainwashed to hate Muslims. Muslims on the other hand have been taught from a young age to abhor the Jews and to dislike western culture, which is predominantly Christian. That is why we need to be wary about accepting a significant portion of them into our society. They don't share many of the Judeo-Christian values that have built our culture and institutions.

That's quite apparent in your posts.
You don't come off as much different than this.
I have had sex with women from many different religions and I thought they were all pretty good
Judeo-Christian values, what a fallacy and a joke! Epitome of ignorance and willful blindness.
No such thing exists, no compatibility between Judaism and Christianity post old testament. Double check those values and return here with sense. No more excuses for such level of ignorance...if you can type here, you can do some research on the internet

The term "Judeo-Christian values" refers to a set of moral, ethical, and cultural principles derived from the shared heritage of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and the Christian New Testament. It is used to describe the religious foundation that shaped Western law, politics, and social norms.
Core Ethical Principles
While Judaism and Christianity have distinct theological doctrines, the concept of Judeo-Christian values focuses on their overlapping moral teachings:
- The Ten Commandments: Serves as the primary moral framework for justice, prohibitions against theft and murder, and social order.
- Inherent Dignity of Human Life: Derived from the biblical concept that humans are created "in the image of God".
- Individual Free Will and Moral Responsibility: The belief that individuals are moral agents accountable for their own actions and choices.
- The Golden Rule: The fundamental principle to "love your neighbor as yourself" and treat others with empathy and fairness.
- Objective Moral Truth: The idea that right and wrong are absolute laws established by a Creator, rather than shifting human opinions.
Historical and Political Context
The term itself is relatively modern and has evolved through distinct political eras:
- Mid-20th Century Inclusivity: The phrase gained popularity in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It was used by religious and civic leaders to counter antisemitism and build a more pluralistic American identity that included Jewish citizens.
- The Cold War: During the 1950s, the term was widely used to unite the American public against the "godless communism" of the Soviet Union.
- The Religious Right: Beginning in the 1980s, conservative political movements adopted the phrase to campaign against secularism and defend traditional family structures.
Criticisms and Debates
The concept is a subject of ongoing cultural and academic debate:
- Theological Differences: Critics point out that the term glosses over fundamental contradictions between the two faiths. Judaism prioritizes correct action and law (orthopraxy), while Christianity emphasizes correct belief and faith (orthodoxy).
- Historical Erasure: Many Jewish historians and commentators note that the term "Judeo-Christian" whitewashes centuries of Christian antisemitism and persecution against Jewish minorities in Europe.
- Political Exclusivity: Some scholars argue the term is used in modern politics as an ideological barrier to exclude other groups, particularly Muslims, by framing Western civilization as strictly Judeo-Christian.
