Prager is a Jew, although he refers to himself as a Judeo-Christian so that he can lump the two religions together as part of a struggle by the "civilised" west against the "barbaric" east and pretend all western progress was made on the back of a shared set of values.
pretend all western progress was made on the back of a shared set of values
I would like to ask someone who believes this why there have been so many wars in western Europe, up to and including the world wars, if the West all have the same values.
Funny thing is Catholicism created purgatory for the majority of people but Jews are barred from entering and don’t start with what Luther thought about the Jews.
Judeo-Christianity is a cope for the Seppos trying to create a cultural narrative
The Catholics have deprecated purgatory in the last couple of decades. iirc they said "It doesn't exist, people made it up in the middle ages, don't worry about it God isn't interested in torturing you you'll be fine.
Ties in to the popular conception of Hell being almost entirely fan fiction.
It's more that it's a state of existence rather than a place, which like Dante's hell is entirely fan fiction.
There are 2 points of doctrine
Some souls are purified after death;
Such souls benefit from the prayers and pious duties that the living do for them. (Because of the communion of the saints, which people in purgatory are by definition.)
That's it. Recent popes have expanded upon this as more a transformation of the soul to become capable of heaven, which the goodwill of those you leave behind makes less wrenching. Note the similarities to Karma here.
if he is a Jew why does he care if Christ was a socialist after all if you don't think Christ is a prophet or the son of God couldn't you just comfortably not listen to what Jesus has to say

I don't think he thought about to any degree more than :us-foreign-policy:
well many of those world wars were because of the shared value of belief in violent domination of those weaker than you
not good values but values none the less
They do share the same values of death and brutality.
:think-about-it:
One of those values is killing people and making up reasons for it
Best part is that they have to use ‘Judeo-Christian’ instead of Abrahamic, cause, you know, that includes Muslims

It's a conservative version of Life of Brian.

because he's actually proselytizing Capitalism and a lot of the rubes in his target audience need this contradiction reconciled for them
Well.
