Are all Conservative Women Religious Fanatics (Vanity warning)??

Okay. Flame if you want. This is what you'd probably call a vanity. Yes, I am a new member, but I've lurked here for years. And no, I'm not from DU!!! However, I am asking a serious opinion here, not trying to start a flame war. I am an agnostic. But I am a conservative. I am anti-abortion, think gay marriage is wrong, I hate high taxes, and think the Dept. of Education is a bunch of shiznit.

But I can't meet a woman like me. All the girls in my age group (I'm 20) are either flaming liberals, or, if they are conservative, they're Jesus freaks. I don't mean to offend anyone but that's the best description I can come up with. Does a non-religious, or "libertarian" type, young, conservative, SINGLE female exist, or not?

[Roses0508]

Yes, they exist. My daughter and her friends (all in their twenties) match your description. With one exception - I cannot say that any of them are agnostic. None of them are particularly religious, but they all have a strong set of moral beliefs. I'm not sure what you mean by agnostic.

Bravo! I think the new 4D ultrasound must have Planned Parenthood really nervous.

[Sloth]

I am anti-abortion, think gay marriage is wrong,

OK, it makes sense for any decent person to be anti-abortion regardless of religion... but why would you regard gay marriage as "wrong"?

(You may already have answered, I haven't scrolled through the responses yet)

The Rocky Mountains yes. I HATE the southeast. Nothing but sprawl, Wal-Marts, bad food and people who sing too much in church. My sister lives in Greenville, SC, which I consider to be hell on earth apart from the politics.

In terms of my tastes in movies, decor and fashion, I am very similar to liberals. In terms of my attitude toward economics and the constitution, I make Ron Paul look like Vladimir Lenin.

"Both are already spoken for, however."

Foul!

Ten yard penalty.

Firstly I AM "offended" by the term "Jesus Freak." Your characterization was rather clumsy.

Secondly, you'll forgive my post in assuming you may be in search of someone who abides by neither extreme of "right or wrong," thus sanctioning NO such "official" authority thereof; someone who may be "flexible enough to compromise on principle"; a moral relativist as it were....

Considering your age, I'm willing to give you the benefit of doubt because you do abide by few key conservative tenets. That you are to be commended for.

[LauraleeBraswell]

I think that was just a really rude woman. But yes, women here are ridiculous.
I swear, bring up abortion and it's all emotional "Bush is trying to take away our rights as women!" Better yet, as a man. "Aren't you concerned that Bush is trying to take away your rights as a woman."

Don't remind me.

[non-religious-conservative]

Maybe agnostic isn't the right word. I believe that there has to be a higher power, because I don't believe we just "appeared" here.

Maybe Deist is a more appropriate description. I just assumed that what I am is agnostic but upon looking at the definitions of the words, deist makes more sense. I do believe that a God exists of some sort.

And yes, I was thinking of Thomas Jefferson as being a Deist.

[advance_copy]

Are you 100% sure none of it happened to you?

[non-religious-conservative]

Because I do think marriage is between a man and a woman.

Again, just because I'm not Christian doesn't mean I have no morals.

""Firstly I AM "offended" by the term "Jesus Freak."""

It's a badge of Honor nowadays, not to mention a great CD that is about 10 years old.

The pictures help but I don't rely on them, because they don't protect the earliest embryos and fertilized eggs. What I do is simply look at all of the criteria that they toss out for drawing a line between two years of age (when fully human self-aware thought turns on as the brain finishes being wired) and fertilization and point out that two years of age and fertilization are the only logical places where one can place the beginning of personhood. Yes, I get a few die-hard pro-choice atheists who will happily (like Peter Singer or Michael Tooley) defend infanticide, too, but most people are not willing to sanction infanticide as the logical extension of their abortion views and start to see the logic in drawing the line at the other end. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the gist of it.

So if it were not for your belief in God, you could not be faithful to your spouse? I am faithful because I love my husband, I would never hurt him, I am sexually attracted to him because I love him, and sex without love is stupid. I'd rather sweat in my garden by myself.

[Doohickey]

I'm 38. You too old for me as well? :)

[VRWCmember]

Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

He lies awake at night wondering if there is a doG.

[L,TOWM]

The libertarian meetings I attended when I was 20.

I mean, its bad enough to hang around with the dorks at the Star Trek convention when you're 15 and a dork yourself, but than to do the same thing at the "county committe" for a "political party" when one is an "adult" is pathetic.

I saw guys at the State Convention in their 40's that started stammering when the SUBJECT of women was brought up.

[ladyinred]

Of course they aren't. Just stick around, you will find your soul mate!
