Not really.
I think you’re missing my point. Or maybe I didn’t explain it well enough. But when I say objectively, I am not saying that everyone must believe exactly what & how I think. To the contrary, in a free and open constitutional society, you can do what you want and I can do what I want as long as we don’t impede each other’s freedom.
Many on the Left want to control, thought as well as actions, which do not conform to their wishes.
So yes, objectively. I don’t have to agree with what you do. Or you agree with me. Yet both can be free to choose.

What a mature response.
You're right, Christian leaders like Pat Robertson are the epitome of love and understanding...

I'm reasonably conservative. I don't view liberals as bad people. Just bad ideas though I know a lot of them think of us as horrible people. Anyways, I'm not "religious" as in ... this is what you ought to believe but to each his own.
I just view the Bible as a spiritual book. Not historical or anything like that. But that's just my opinion. Hell, I could be wrong too. I don't want to attack Christians. I don't see the point in these kind of threads.

You stepped all over your poll. It seems like your post - ostensibly a poll of who is conservative without being religious - turned into a rant against Christianity.
In the spirit of your first sentence - I am conservative but not religious. Neither am I a hater of religion, as you seem to be.

Lol.
One of our far left posters used the same saying the other day.
Coincidence?
Nah.
We see what you were doing. Don’t get mad that we did.

Yeah those religion inspired crusades and jihads are just swell.

The mark of a true trolling artist is to stick with the illusion, no matter how many people see through it. You're just throwing in the towel here; man up. Be true to the troll.

Is that really the best you can do? It's like talking to a toddler..."you're a big poopie head!"
Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone can subscribe to conservative principles but choose not to participate in organized religion? And you might be shocked to find out that people can also be liberals and be Christians, Jews, or fundamentalist Muslims.

Stay focused. What was I right about?
All I said prior to you posting that is that you post like a commie.
Link to where I said anything like that? Good luck. Keep swinging at the straw man though.
Your trolling is clear either way.

Conservative Christian here. But I’m also a constitutionalist and freedom lover.

That’s exactly why all people must believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. I don’t want you to die in your imperfection and suffer for eternity.
The ancient Egyptians were just as positive about the religion they practiced as you are. So were the ancient Greeks. Today we still have Muslims and Buddhists. All believe they are correct and right just as fervent as you. You’re no different than they are. They all have the golden rule but all these imperfect people are going to hell according to you. Why? Just because they don’t believe in Jesus? You can be the model of virtue but if you don’t believe what FooManChoo tells you then your imperfect and going to hell? You’re not gonna win many people over with that message and is not very nice. Threats as an argument? No. Threats are how you force people to do something. “Believe what I believe or you’re going to burn in hell!” OK who the frick are you again?

I’m more of a me and God guy myself, but the Bible plays a major and absolutely necessary role in continuing procreation and human life on earth. Im thankful it does; I doubt we would have made it this far without it.
