Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

In a political context, Judeo-Christian originally meant "Not a godless Commie." So it's antitotalitarian in that it's anti-Stalin.

I see at as more window dressing for people who want to pay lip service to the constitution by pretendong that it's a cultural thing rather than straight-up Christianity boosting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The only time I use Dr. is if someone actually asks me "Miss or Mrs?" (which, thankfully, happens very rarely).

And its fun, right? That's gotta be fun.

Yeah, I'm almost sad that feminism has much such progress that that phrasing rarely happens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister is all "Dr!" and I'm all "You'll always be Missy to me, young'un."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Me and my lowly B.A. figure if someone put in the time and effort and big brains to get a PhD, if they want to be called "Doctor," that's fine by me.

But not if they want to be called "Doctor Judeo-Christian," because that would just be weird.

Unless, of course, Suzy Christian and Alfred Judeo fell in love at a Who convention and procreated.

I will attempt to go my entire life without calling my sister Dr. Ourlastname to her face. Because that's my mother. Also, I was never going to call her Miss Ourlastname to her face anyway. Because that's me. And His Excellency is my father.

She is fourth wheel. She doesn't get a title.

Frequently, people who use the phrase "Judeo-Christian" like that remind me of people with PhDs in botany or some other non-medical field who insist on being called "Doctor".

I'm sure you didn't mean this to sound so dismissive, but what you got against calling someone with a doctorate a Doctor? That degree took work.

Full disclosure: I am a PhD and use the title when I'm teaching, but not socially. But I don't see any difference between calling someone Doctor and calling someone Reverend or Father.
