Something else I'm noticing in this thread, if I may comment - the term "Judeo-Christian" and the way its being used.

I've personally never liked that term, because I find it to be inaccurate. People who use this term seem to feel that Judaism and Christianity see exactly eye-to-eye, especially when it comes to such things as sin and divine judgment and the role of religion.

Wikipedia has an excellent article analyzing similarities and differences between the two religions. There's far too much text to do a simple copy and paste, so I'm just going to post a link, and people can peruse it if they wish without having to clutter up the board.

Some of you may be surprised by what you read here. I certainly was.
