@poemblaze @robfwtx @MLClark I'm just happy to see people sharing what they believe. Believing in something can be a wonderful thing. I'm not of the Judeo-Christian faiths but there is much in common with early Christianity and Buddhism. A similar birth story too, interestingly. Mysticism from early parts of both faiths share much. I'm Theravadin (a tradition of Buddhism) which is one of oldest Buddhist traditions and pretty conservative (small C) and scripture based. xx
@MLClark @poemblaze @robfwtx It's a common term used in Academia with no anti- Semitic overtones. But I am interested that you view it that way.
@MLClark @poemblaze @robfwtx I'm quite happy with how I use it. But thank you.

Not just me. I used to use it in academia, too, but stopped when it was pointed out to me that it now has very strong ties to US Christians with antisemitic aims. Jewish groups routinely advocate against its use, because it's become a clear dogwhistle for hateful politics.
