Thank you...That is what I wanted to hear.

Then you should have just said so. (friendly grin here) Your first question, which launched my post on worldviews was, "can Christians be liberals." That is a very interesting question but it necessarily provoked a Christian response based on scripture. That's what I thought you were looking for.

The question you were really asking--"can non-Christians be good conservatives" is easy and requires no theology--only empirical evidence. My brother, who is very dear to me, is one of the most solid conservatives you might ever want to meet and a militant agnostic.

As I said in one of my posts, much of the conservative worldview--particularly its beliefs about human nature--is descended from the Christian worldview. That's why, imho, so many conservatives are Christians and vice-versa.

So, do we all hold hands now and sing Kumbayah? Or would Kumbayah be mixing worldviews? :)

:)...I see where you're coming from. My question was to DeweyCa who posted the essay by Thomas Brewster. I took the quote, "American liberals seek to destroy Christianity" from the essay and asked him if there are no Christian liberals.

I'm familliar with Brewster and assumed DeweyCa was too since he posted the essay.
In any case, I have no problem with mainstream Christians...like you.

That's what makes our Republic great. There's room for all of us. Some seem to think that the RP needs to speak for one specific group of Christians and everyone else can take a hike if they don't like it.

LOL! Let's sing!
