Good grief Corny!

I am just finishing Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind. If it is to be believed, the roots of conservatism are a belief in the durability of ideas, and the transience of Man. That would seem to demand some sense of a higher order, a god if you will. But I don't know that it predicates the existence of a Judeo-Christian God.

American -- indeed Western -- conservatism is defined by its desire to sustain the Judeo-Christian ethic because that is the ethic that defined this nation and its founders. But I suspect that any religion which places Man in his humble station in the Universe would suffice.
