America was not founded on "Judeo-Christian" principles.
Hebrew-Christian perhaps, but Judaism (which is a completely different,
false religion built on the traditions of men) played no part.

Okay, with you so far...
'Hebrew-Christian perhaps, but Judaism (which is a completely different, false religion built on the traditions of men) played no part.'
Never mind.
For once he actually acknowledges "America was not founded on "Judeo-Christian" principles." and it all goes downhill from there.
As far as the FSTDT comments tell me (I'm not an American) it was founded on secular principles.
Eh - you do know that the bigger part of the Christians' holy book is the same that they use in Judaism, right?
And it breaks my heart to tell you that all religions are built on the traditions of men.
No, I was lying. It doesn't break my heart at all!
America was not founded on "Judeo-Christian" principles.
This is correct.
Hebrew-Christian perhaps
Uhm... No
but Judaism (which is a completely different,
false religion built on the traditions of men) played no part.
You are correct Judaism played no part either, but how do know your religion isn't just as false?
You got 2 out of 4, but in order to win, all your statements should have been correct. But thanks for playing anyway.
Fred, you'll never believe this, but there's a bit of the bible (you know, the book that says gays are evil), called 'The Old Testament'. And the thing is, those naughty Jews also... I can't, not so close to Christmas, it would be too cruel.
Christians saying Judaism is a false religion is very rich, considering your saviour was a Jew.
And how many times do people have to tell you before it gets into your heads: America isn't a Christian nation
America was not founded on "Judeo-Christian" principles.
So far so good...
Hebrew-Christian perhaps,
...wait...what?
but Judaism (which is a completely different, false religion built on the traditions of men) played no part.
Total fail there Freddy.

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
Who gives a shit what you call it? Nitpicking about labels is just plain silly and childish.
I am so sick of this shit. "America" is two continents, North and South. The United States of America is a country, symbol: U.S. First country to use its symbol for its currency. "$" used to be "U" superimposed on "S". If you don't know even that much history, STFU.
"America" was not founded, period. It was found.
As for the rest of this twaddle, the U.S., or USA if you prefer, was founded on the principles of John Locke, among others, which is not the same John as in the Babble, so bugger off!
So it was built on the Hebrew people, but not their beliefs?
So all that shit in the Old Testament, or the first half of the Bible, is false and never happened?
Of course, without the Old Testament there is no original sin, and without original sin there is nothing for Jesus' death to redeem. That kind of makes your whole religion invalid.
All of this is moot anyway, since I'm pretty sure that the ideals of liberty, representative democracy, and limited government, have nothing to do with Christianity.
The second part of his comment is a link to a YouTube video by RJ Rushdoony - a white-supremacist, neo-Nazi Holocaust denier.
That says everything about Wigglesworth's credibility & mentality.
I think Fred is referring to the theory that Ashkenazi Jews originated from the Turkic Khazars of Central Asia rather than from the ancient Hebrews. The aristocracy of the Khazar Empire converted to Judaism around the 8th century B. C., in order to secure their independence from the neighbouring Byzantine Empire (Christian) and Arab Caliphate (Muslim). The Khazar Empire took up a vast landmass from Central Asia to Eastern Europe. That's why many people think Eastern European Jews came from the Khazars proselytizing among the local population.
Oops, my bad. Before reading this, I had never heard about British Israelism. But doesn't every Christian nation claim they are the lost tribe of Israel? Even some non-Christians do, like the Japanese. (Some of them, at least.) Except Hungarians, who will go to the ends of the earth to deny any connection with the Jews and assert to have been created Christians by God. (Some of us, at least, myself not included.)
Judaism was the completely different false religion built on the tradition of men, which that Jesus dude adhered to. But who cares what he did, right?
Hebrew is a language or a group of people, not a religion.
Apparently there is also a beer called He'Brew...
Your country was founded on secular principles, silly.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
