You dont need to be a Christian to be a conservative. End of discussion. If that is the type of crap you want to push, then you lose lots of people with similar goals for no other reason than to be a self-righteous gate-keeper.
Right... but all the good things about conservatism are good because they align with the Law of God. Period.

You, and many others, seem to be reading that idea into my post, and into the original article. I don't see why. I'm arguing for the EXISTENCE of an absolute truth, and that God is the One Who has it, and that He has revealed it to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. That's not fluff, or fairy tale, or dreamland; that's as much of a cold, hard fact as is the multiplication table. Atheists who "inherit" true beliefs do so by virtue of the fact that God gave it to them (either directly, through inspiration/guidance, or indirectly, through ancestors and/or remnants in the culture, and through logic/sane reason). One doesn't have to be a believer in order to hold true beliefs; one merely needs God (and, by extension, Christianity) in order for those true things to exist in the first place. then you lose lots of people with similar goals for no other reason than to be a self-righteous gate-keeper.
