US and Israel seek to expel Palestinians from Palestine...

I used to spend many afternoons walking down to what we knew as the Crusaders fortress on the bank of the River Jordan. Didn't look like a fortress to me, just a hill with a few rocks on top. I used to take my then girlfriend (a dancer from Bournemouth) there. I told her it was an old Crusader fortress, she said 'are you sure, it doesn't look like one'.
Many many years later I found an article online about excavations at 'Ateret Fortress' where they unearthed the remains of decapitated crusaders.

She lives in Australia now, I sent her a 'friend request' on Facebook about 5 years ago. She's still quite attractive, but old, very old.

I replied very quickly.

Later you edited your post to add my name.

But by then it was too late.

That is the truth!

It is more of a political phrase to term the western values of christianity that differentiates between different cultures to us.

So, it sounds like the UK could be described either as a Christian country or as a Judeo-Christian country, depending on whether somebody is talking about religion or politics.

If you don't know about the religious basis of Britain, it does beg the question. Are you British and did you grow up in Britain?

type of thing, it does depend upon who is talking about it, Jewish religion will rarely use this term as christians believe Jesus Christ is God, while Jews reject his divinity altogether.

I am British and was brought up in Britain as a Christian in a large Christian family. I was very active in our Church. I am friends with many Christians. I have never heard any of my family or friends describe themselves as "Judeo Christians". Until today, I have never heard of Britain being called a "Judeo-Christian" country. This is new to me and I am expressing an interest. Don't be so suspicious :)

Christianity was born from Judaism. It shares many of its values but not all of its beliefs. I do not believe Jesus is God for example and would describe myself as a person with Christian values.

Christians don't believe Jesus is God!

My faith is personal. But you skip the important point I was making, which was that the overwhelming majority of Christians in this country would never dream of calling themselves "Judeo Christians".
