I don't think that faith in the Bible is any detriment to conservatisim.
But the rigid interpretation of Genesis that some, but not all, Christians hold that we call "creationism" certianly is a cancer on conservatisim. It damages our credibility, and distracts us (with fights over science classroom content) from working on political goals that are attainable, like proper Supreme Court judges and SS reform.
I call it Intelligent Design.
LOL! What a moronic statement. You believe in god thats a distraction that make keeps us from working of SS reform! WAH WAH! OMG!
