Just how Conservative are you?

Question

how does your outlook and conviction to your politics compliment your faith (or lack thereof) in any religion or belief system?

Answer 1

I used to be an atheist for 20 years. I used to be pro-choice, liberal evolutionist. Today I am a born-again Christian who is pro-life, young-earth creationist and I will be voting for Ron Paul next year. My political beliefs are a complete 180 from what they used to be. Only Christ can have that effect on people.
If I did not vote according to my beliefs, I would be a hypocrite, wouldn't I?

Answer 2

When heaven freezes over, valuing family businesses and family farming will become more important than supporting the ultra-rich. Appears that most people are such tight wads (conservatives) they rather support unpatriotic big businesses sending jobs abroad to slave camps. These conservatives need to find out the origins of conservative (hint: aristocrat).

Churches telling their audience how to vote has turned me away from organized religion and the Republican party, as well as the above.

Christianity is being used just for the Almightly dollar.

Answer 3

My religious outlook affects my conviction on political issues, especially concerning the sanctity of life. I don't think you can stamp me conservative nor liberal because my political views change with each issue. So, my faith predicates my political outlook, but to brand it conservative or liberal is too much of a generalization based on a wide spectrum of issues.

Answer 4

I'm so conservative that I consider born-again evangelical Christians to be a bunch of wild-eyed newcomers who adhere to doctrines made up nearly last week.

Odd enough, I tend to be a strict Constitutionalist politically (which means that I disagree with a lot of what passes for "conservative" these days).

Answer 5

Well, I have very conservative religious views, but it would not affect my political outlook. Personally, I am not republican or democrat. Conservative or liberal. I am going to vote for whoever I think will do the best for our country, no matter their religion or political party.

Answer 6

Right now I have a strong dislike for both major parties.

I took the Conservative/Liberal Test back in 2004.
I discovered I was more Conservative than George 'W' Bush on quite a few issues, and I was more Liberal than Ted Kennedy on many Issues, and I was dead center on many issues.. My Final tally.. Just a tad off dead center. (right)

I do believe in the power of a higher being. I know God will call me home to his Kingdom when Saint Peter gives him the Green Light to approach the Pearly Gates.

Answer 7

Hm... actually, I don't know how conservative I am. I don't know how I feel about economics, national security, immigration, even the death penalty. I know that I strongly oppose prayer in schools. I know that I strongly support a woman's choice and the immediate legalization of same sex marriage. I know that when it comes to social policy, I tend to want to help people rather than tell them to hit the ground running and make it on their own steam (I'd rather they COULD, but I know not everyone is so fortunate).

At least in that way I know I'm not conservative.

Answer 8

I am an ultra-conservative Christian.
I would be what's called a 'fundie' in here.
I believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and that Jesus Christ is the Way, theTruth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father, but by Him.

I vote my values.

Answer 9

Hmm...well, I am a bit different about this. I am a Christian, but I'm not a Republican (I have noticed a lot of Christians seem to be...). I think the essence of my faith is loving God and loving others, and to me loving others means paying attention to what is going on in the world, voting according to what I think is right, and trying to be aware of how politics affect people and quality of life.

Answer 10

i'm conservative when it comes to political things.

gay marriage, but maybe call it a union with the same rights to appease everyone

i don't know, i guess i'm moderate. ask another question "just how moderate are you"

Answer 11

I am not a traditionalist or very conservative. I am into improvement, and better ideas, than those that have been arround for a while. We can not have a better world, if we do not produce better ideas, spiritual ideas included. A good and a very moral God, expects us to challenge our mind, as well as work hard morally. God does not like laziness.
