We don't have to accept each others views on evolution, but we should respect the fact that we are all conservatives. Just because someone is an atheist or believes in evolution, it doesn't take away from the fact that they are conservative. Some here have equated Christianity with conservatism. That is wrong. Christians are a segment of conservatism, just like evangelicals are a segment of Christianity.
Absolutely true. And some have equated acceptance of creation/fundamentalism with being stupid. (*cough* "I think a lot of people in conservative media pander to the dullards... They all seem to [sic] intelligent to be cretards or fundies." *cough*). That isn't conducive to or reflective of "respect," in my opinion.
