I"m a conservative, and I don't get it.
By "not getting it", I mean that think that professing one's belief in Jesus Christ means that we (Christians)are simple minded and some kind of "freaks", as they often use the term "Jesus Freaks" to describe believers. They don't "get" the peace and strength one derives from having made that committment to Christ. They see it as fanatical and not applicable to life today. Nothing could be further from the truth.
