I have tried not to even think about just how much my bill is going to be at the end of this month. It's already been crazy high during the moderate winter we've had so far. Hopefully we don't have more cold snaps

If you have a problem with my statement, it’s up to you to refute it. Go ahead and research every tenet of Judaism and then Christianity and find where “the original moral come from”. It’s an argument in futility and you know it. I don’t understand why my original fact gets Redditors riled up so much.

Jewish people and their beliefs were unique and they were a minority who lived in relative isolation. To act like Jewish beliefs were an amalgamation of popular contemporary beliefs is laughably wrong and minimizes, if not outright ignores, the discrimination they faced for thousands of years. It’s easy to see the tenets of Abrahamic religions be commonplace throughout the world now and assume that was always the case, but history tells us the exact opposite.

Anyways, while Jesus comes to fulfill the Old Testament, he also provides new teachings that Christians follow and Jews do not. Therefore, some teachings Christians follow are unique to the teachings espoused Jesus and his followers.

I agree with why Judaism isn’t as widespread as the other religions; I never said anything to the contrary. Anyways, they all descend from the same guy, have the same God, and have more in common with each other than they do non-Abrahamic religions. I think it’s fair to group them and I never claimed they were the same.

The most controversial thing you can say on Reddit is to point out the fact that Christianity shaped western morality, even though it's obviously true. The influence of Christianity, and Abrahamic religions in general, is even more apparent when we compare the cultures of colonized nations outside of Europe before and after the introduction of Abrahamic religions.
