I don't oppose the Christian influence on conservatism. I just want to get past that and focus on the conservatism....no matter what it was influenced by.

Why?

Is Christianity just a useful tool to set up a comfortable, safe, orderly society that can be ditched once it's done its job?

Conservatism will not stay conservative without the moral value system that Christianity provides. If you eject Christianity from the conservative movement, you've cut off the life blood of conservatism.

It boggles the mind the number of people who just love living in a society like the United States has that is the fruit of Christian thinking, who are willing to trash the very foundation of that fruit.

You can't have it both ways. You want conservatism? It comes part and parcel with Christianity.

You don't want Christianity? You'll end up with anarchy.

ABSOLUTELY . . .

Though I think anarchy is a temporary transition mode . . .

to abject horrific demonized slavery of the worst kind.

The stories of the globalist elites and their extensively conditioned, mind-controlled sex slaves etc. come to mind.

And after the anarchy, totalitarianism.

It’s inevitable.
