[Augustine23591]

Many politically conservative Christians have their politics and religion ‘all rolled up together’, so to speak, and lean towards the doctrines that favor their general worldview. I can only speak first-hand from the Catholic perspective. For instance, a conservative Catholic will usually tell you that poor people should just work harder and if people suffer, they must have done something to bring it on themselves. Sometimes not a lot of thinking goes on in conservative circles, just knee-jerk, pre-programmed answers. But in all fairness, not a whole lot of ‘thinking outside the box’ goes on in either conservative or liberal camps, neither on political issues nor religious ones. Everybody remembers the ‘eye for an eye’ and ‘judge not lest ye be judged’ Bible verses, because these conform to human nature anyway; there are other verses (the ‘hard sayings’), some of which challenge conservatives and some of which challenge liberals, and they conveniently ignore these. Any Christian needs to read the Bible front to back, word for word. I did.
