Many on our side conflate their conservatism with their religion.
Yes, they do.
It's a relatively new Christian phenomenon called "Churchianity."
One element that the "Churchians" use is to use the Bible as a weapon at ANY disagreement, no matter how mild and reasonable. They also use Christianity to completely buy into every premise of the Left.
Another is to destroy anybody the Left targets for destruction to "virtue-signal" your moral righteousness.
The "Conservative" "Churchians" are not an ally to the Right or to Western Civilization.
Many of them are right here at Free Republic.
Oh I am well familiar with the practice.
I've witnessed the most intolerable moral and intellectual depravities come from "Christians" who think they're sanctity is intact because they "ain't lying, cheating', and stealing'!"
