We have an epidemic spiritual problem here.
Conservative has to be viewed in context. America used to have a good enough gospel/bible foundation that it was noticeable. Perfect no, distinctive yes.
Conservative here means something different than, say, conservative in Russia just coming out of the Communist era (in which conservatives would be pro-communism, obviously).
Anyhow it’s the gospel which has to be grasped again. Without that, all manner of ungodly ills beset the country.
