We are protestants.

So are we, the Dutch. But we all inherit our culture from the Greek and Judeo-Christian traditions, so we might as well acknowledge a common identity.

Judeo-christianity is an anachronism. Jews are defined as those who don’t believe in the Messiah and who have abrogated the Torah.

Netanyahu's Talmudic Coalition Wins and Danger it Represents - INL [24.17]
https://odysee.com/@IsraeliNewsLive:a/new-movie-(10).movie:5 Today represents the first step toward installment of official Talmudic religious dictatorship in the state of Israel as the Knesset passes law to weaken the Supreme court and strengthen the rabbinic religious courts. It is a sad day for all non-religious Israelis, Arabs and Christians living in Israel. The democracy in Israel is the thing of the past and the new religious rule has begun. Ben Gvir who is one of the many members of the coalition brings with him the Meir Kahane philosophy of anti-gentilism and Jewish supremacy. Netanyahu is linked to the “Rebbe” of Chabad organization and is given a “key” to bring in the “Messiah”. Question is… is this the true Christ or false Christ coming. I think we know the answer to that question.

We really don't inherit very much from greek culture in North West Europe

Only the theatre, philosophy, literature, the Olympics, and the rule of law. Indirectly they gave us our judicial system altogether (via the Romans) and Christianity (which is rooted in Platonism).

All of which developed separately in north west Europe and the greek influence only came in later at the end of the middle ages with much misinterpretation.

And English common law is not influenced by Roman law.

Wait, was that a joke?

[–]doginventer 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Sadly :(

We all tell unfunny jokes now and then. Let me pat your back.

It’ll take a great deal more than a pat on the back to extricate any if us from the EU joke, but the UK has at least tried.
