Check your demographics on churchgoers in this country. I think you might be surprised how the democrat and republican distribution breaks down. I know I was.
You misquoted me. I didn’t say the left is not anti-religion. I said the left loves religion. And it does. Check the numbers. It also loves religion as a way to get its agenda across, and as a way to make conservatives and those on the right feel guilty. Just look at what happening in the dialog right now, just go to drudge and you can see it. Look at the arguments being made for those items the left wants. The left is not saying do it because its good for communism. They are saying do it because you need to not be such a hater, and “isn’t that what Christianity teaches?”, etc.
I’m not talking about communist forms of government, I’m talking about socialism in the midst of our mixed economy.
Again, with the “smelling like a troll” comment, you debase your own argument. I’m under no obligation to prove my conservative credentials. I’ll just stick to arguing in the realm of ideas. If you want to make personal attacks, that’s your affair.
African Americans are the most religious (churchgoing) demographic in the nation. If you look at white Americans on their own, you will see that they are not as “religious” as many think, and that religious devotion is a highly regional, rather than national, phenomenon.
>>> I’m under no obligation to prove my conservative credentials.
Again, I didn’t ask you to prove anything.
My original point was that the term “conservative” is extremely vague in comparison to “atheist”.
My definition of conservatism is no doubt quite different than yours for obvious reasons. I’m sure it would be difficult to find perfectly consistent definitions among Christians who attend the same church. I honestly don’t know what atheists generally consider conservatism to be... Why are you so afraid to divulge your views on what conservative means??? All you seem to be focused on is the dangers of believing in God, and you refuse to address the other side of the argument which is relevant to this thread topic. If you are not willing to express what conservatism means to you, then my troll charge stands. If you prefer the term RINO or CINO, then so be it. To me, a troll is someone claiming to be something they are not to gain access to forums such as this one. That’s not a personal attack. It’s a judgment of your behavior.
Why? What did you see when you did that?
