What does this have to do with Judeochristian values? I'm sure MY people would love to claim it, but Jews don't hold a monopoly on intelligence, and I've found piss-poor evidence for the general assembly of staunch Christians thinking higher education is necessary in the eyes of god.

ditto TSQ
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

This is the kind of society that JudeoChristian values have built. I'd say they have royally missed the mark.

It's not just the Judeoxtian systems that are failing it is ALL 'religious' systems including Politics that are failing the planetary population and society in general.

Great ideas....and then you add people. Sometimes (thankfully not often) I really hate "people"

I am finding that many do not know the BB codes nor do they READ the rules for large posts nor do they know how to {hide}{/hide} large posts....

I KNOW they are in the rules and I KNOW they are available because that is how I learnt...Angry

Tack, people's sheer laziness when it comes to quoting anything from pictures to large blocks of text make my eye twitch on a daily basis.

But my question still stands. Without posting the picture again, can someone tell me WHY education has fuck all to do with Judeo-Christian values? Because if not, I'm going to end up moving this thread. You have 24 hours to convince me.
