Have you ever heard the term Judeo-Christian values I suspect you have?

Can you name any of those values?

I suspect you can't.

But you should, because Judeo-Christian values are the moral foundation of Western civilization.

As the great British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher put it, the truths of the Judeo-Christian

tradition are infinitely precious, not only because they are true, but also because they

provide the moral impulse which alone can lead to that peace for which we all long.

Mrs. Thatcher was a believing Christian, I am a believing Jew, while we have different

theologies, we have the same core values, and as far as societies concern moral values,

are far more important than theologies.

That is why traditionally religious Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, and Jews are aligned

on almost every important moral issue.

Here then are ten of those values.

Number one, there is one God.

That God is the God introduced to the world by the Hebrew Bible, or as Christians came

to refer to it, the Old Testament.

Number two, the Hebrew Bible introduced the most revolutionary moral idea in history,

that there are objective moral truths, just as there are objective mathematical and scientific

truths.

Without God, there is no moral truth, only moral opinions.

Number three, because there are moral truths good and evil are the same for all people.

Number four.
