arose among the western european peoples after the roman empire's fall, whose ethics came from judeo-christian religion and whose artistic inheritance owed so much to the greeks and romans. much western art can be seen as variations on the love/hate relationship western artists had with greek and roman classicism, but that is just one view. every generation takes from the past what it needs to make sense of itself. there is no such thing as objective history. in art as in anything else, there are only our interpretations, our dialogue with the past. ultimately, it's impossible for us to see in an ancient greek work of art what an ancient greek saw. nevertheless, viewing the tradition as a whole helps us understand its parts. in that light, the art of our own times may appear to be the disintegration of the tradition, its dissolution. against that, though, western art is clearly still alive and changeable. in its past, it contains a reservoir of riches for future generations to make of what they will. its greatest characteristic has always been its capacity for innovation and change, to draw on

in they find it really weird but look at the genesis i mean that's how all of us started here judeo christian more old. all the patriarchs were polygamists they had numerous numerous ways to it's very interesting you get to joseph joseph is. i think possibly the first ecologist he must have been extremely observant because he realized that we were entering a time of scarcely. and he held himself to one wife they only had two children both sons and ultimately console the pharaoh of egypt that in order to get through lean times we have to conserve. tell me who i interviewed and tell of the said that. the interpretation is that in times of famine you refrain from having children until. times are generous again interest in fact one of the i thought one of the more interesting stories in the book was when you went to salt lake city and sat down with a group and let me reframe this for us it was. because there's still a big families yeah you know i had some concerns because i knew that i was going to be talking about this point when i when i went there so i learned looked into mormon history and i

we're supposed to treat each other with a level of respect and decency that we're taught in our judeo christian upbringing. when somebody comes who is the president of the united states. he came to ft. myers, florida. the reason he was coming was to help our state, some republicans took offense to that was stunning to me. this is the president of the united states of america. and so what if he's not your same party. he's the leader of our country. and you show respect that that office deserves, and in my view, the person deserves. he's worked hard. he's my friend. >> what do you make of that? >> you're both right. it's a nasty politics. really nasty, really aimed at using obama's name as a rallying cry to pander to the far right and to generate some kind of clout. and that's followed up by if you disagree or if you want to make a civil outreach across party lines, then you're branded as a rino, republican in name only. that's tribal politics. most voters are in that wobbly reasonable, sensible center someplace and are really turned off by that kind of politics. it can be very effective in prima

to disagree is a -- is a set that's in the american context, the american civil religion, the judeo-christian tradition -- >> give me an example then. i think the point about atheists is a good point. but exclude them for present purposes and give me an example of a prayer that is acceptable to all of the groups that i mentioned. >> about a third of the prayers in this record, your honor, are acceptable. >> give me an example. >> can i have the joint appendix? the prayers to the almighty, prayers to the creator. >> to "the almighty." >> yes. >> so if -- if a particular religion believes in more than one god, that's acceptable to them? >> well, some religions that believe in more than one god believe that all their many gods are manifestations of the one god. but the true polytheists i think are also excluded from the mccreary dissent. >> what about devil worshippers? [laughter] >> well, if devil worshippers believe the devil is the almighty, they might be ok. but they're probably out. [laughter] >> who is going to make this determination? is it -- is it an ex ante determination? you have to r

if you subscribe to the judeo-christian philosophy, generosity is a must.e should all help those who are less fortunate than we are. check out billo'reilly.com, the factor tip of the day. and ken, go back to levit town, leave the nfl alone, public safety is my business, ken, wise up. and i chuckled, bill, when you stride to explain the outrageous behavior going on with the miami dolphins, you kept the factor zone in check. and bill, you mentioned how badly vietnam vets have been treated in the tip of the day. my husband served in vietnam and was paralyzed. >> bill, as a vet i have been very pleased with the care i have received. charlie, south boston, massachusetts, vietnam vets were not ill-treated in this town. we had the first memorial for them in this town. southy came through on this one. and bill, i am the chancellor of the midwest college of theology and just finished reading killing jesus, i believe there is a non-theological term for those who believe this. and i am 12, watched the movie, "killing kennedy." i want to read more, can only find killin

>> it's over israel and also over america as a christian or a judeo christian nation and what they sees prophetic role in the, what they call the restoration of israel or you know, like you say, it's really about the end times. so, it tends to be couched as a pro israel position. that's the position that christians, evangelicals can take and somebody like john hagee who's promised jewish leerds that we won't prof latize to jews. have made peace with because they think that hagee is providing support to israel and it's true that somebody like hageric e will gather up the followers to lobby on the hill, sanctions against iran or military strikes against iran or what have you, so i think for people who share that position, he's seen as an ally. the jewish community doesn't really get vold in politics that way. they're more focused on religion and so, i think that for even for people within the hawkish pro israel jewish community, that this is going to be highly problematic. >> sarah pozner, thanks for doing the leg work on this. we would not have known about it had you not done this. i wo

>> yes, but i'm saying, if anyone suggests to divide jerusalem or places that are part of the judeo-christianthos, the bible, these-- all these areas -- >> and islamic as well. >> well, that-- that was way, way later, if you know history. un, the palestinian people who came about roughly 100 years ago as a reaction to zionism. if you look at history, there was never a palestinian people. >> rose: can we move to iran for a second? >> absolutely. >> rose: the prime minister has one point of view and i presume you support his point of view or maybe have a different one. he has vocally and vociferously in argument against the possibility of an interrism agreement which would freeze iranian nuclear activities. in exchange for, in exchange for the reduction of some of the sanctions, but not on oil,aise understand it. what's wrong with that? >> okay. i'll explain what iran has, what's their plan, and then what's wrong with it. iran has 18,500 cent fortunatelies of of which 1,000 are the-- mblg a pipe that's generating it uranium, that is poured into a pool. this pool-- this pipe can produce enough u

i don't have a problem if you're brother is a right you'll kill them because that's judeo-christian. that goes back to cain and abel. but i do have a problem with saying that you will leave your mother on her deathbed if he could summon. so then he turns to jr and says next time i will leave that out. >> host: what was vegas like when you first moved here? pardon me if i'm saying is wrong, but were the mobs in control? for the mafia in control of the city and do they have a presence today? >> guest: i'll answer that reverse order. there is no mafia presence with the corporations coming in here. being subject sncc engagement control supervision. and age has done its part, too. sl is attrition through fbi surveillance and wiretaps and the like. there's no mafia. no bobs in the traditional sense. they have no bearing whatsoever. when i got here in 1964, my wife and i were driving up from the east coast and came to the top of the hill and overlooked the entire ballet. or just a couple sprinkling nights in the desert. i don't think there was a building taller than two stories high. they t

and so i found remarks, saying things that united states is a christian nation, doesn't use the judeo-christian nation that a lot like to use and said president barack obama, this is a quote, is destroying the concept of god. he says the president is destroying the concept of god. he says that voters should send obama back to kenya, sends like a birther there. he's given sermons saying women should not be the spiritual leaders of the homes and family. that's the job only for men. women do it only if the men don't do it is, you know, against gay rights, but he calls gay rights a conspiracy to make government your god. i don't quite follow the logic there, but that's what he said. he calls the president repeatedly a marxist, comparing him to fidel castro, and i list a lot of this -- >> host: did you -- >> guest: i show the videos. these come from videos. there's no question that these are the sort of things that pastor, ted cruz's dad says on behalf of his son at republican and tea party events. >> host: did you talk to the office about the statements? did they give you a statement? >> guest: yes

his he's spoken throughout the south and around the country sharing a 13-part series about the judeo christian heritage of america he presently serves as executive director of the moral action of mississippi and a national organization, the moral action of the baptist missionary association. we are honored to have him here today and we deeply appreciate his service to our lord and the people of mississippi. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair will entertain 15 further requests for one-minute speeches on each side of the aisle. for what purpose does the gentleman rise? mr. broun: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. broun: now more than ever, americans are feeling the pain of obamacare. this law is hurting americans with higher premiums an cancellation notices. if it is left in place, our country will suffer under the new wave of spending it will create. this destroyer must be stopped. just last week

as far as my belief about christianity, i've always felt that judeo-christian religion is the wellspring of morality in this country, and as a society becomes more secular, freedom for jews to go away alongside freedom for christians. in california there's already a bill moving through the california assembly that would strip the nonprofit status from any group that discriminates on the basis of religion, sexual orientation or gender. so, i believe that when we discard religion and religious values including christian because this is largely a christian country by and we are shooting ourselves in the foot. what is the secon was the secone question? >> host: google, easter and people using bing. >> guest: but, again, i appreciate when folks use market power to make their point as opposed to calling for government censorship to cause google is a private company and they can do whatever they want but making a folks awar folks ar political stance is something that is worthwhile and allows us to make informed decisions the same way if there is a website that they don't like they make informed

literally flood the courts with these groups, mostly atheist groups -- trying to shut down our judeo christian83, the state of nebraska could absolutely employ a chaplain. i want to let people know, at the end of the day, these atheist groups may have their own worst nightmare, which is instead of having different people from the community, how about we just hire a chaplain, which is what legislatures do. >> thanks for the info. we'll hear what happens on wednesday. >> thanks. >>> next up, an army veteran making it his mission to bring the afghany man he credits with saving his life to live freely in the u.s. both of them are here live with that story. >>> and then justin bieber's embarrassing defeat by katy perry. she's leaving the biebs in the dust of providing a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere. if you look at a khan academy video, they cover everything from basic arithmetic to calculus, trigonometry, finance. you can really just get what you need at your own pace. and so, bank of america came and reached out to us and said, "we are really interested in making sure that every
