And clearly you've taken it upon yourself to adopt our values wholesale
i didnt adopt it, i had it myself
you cant say i adopt it when it was original
ive since sworn an oath of citizenship to the US, yes
so i AGREE
with the values
but they are MINE
y am i ignored
because you joined during a debate @Patriotic Frog
Alright, fair enough, you moved here and just-so-happened to fit in perfectly. That's fine, and possible, but then you disqualify yourself from commenting on our source of cohesion, since you're claiming that yours was by coincidence.
@Patriotic Frog maybe post in serious
I would suggest that maybe you've thrived in it, and had your views bolstered by the ambient American culture.
without christian values, people support abortion
and that's something as simple as murdering a baby being bad or not
the ambient american culture has ACTIVELY SHAT ON MY VIEWS
i lived in CONNECTICUT
lmao
so yes, religion is highly influential on the moral code
ive been surrounded by liberals my whole life
and had liberal media around me
only in 2016 onward
before that i had nothing
so you weren't totally severed from true American ideals
and i dont derive my values from an internet forum
I became a conservative in 2015
ive been a conservative since my first thoughts about politics
idk living with a bunch of liberals is considered being severed from American ideals
i became one when i was 5
I was a communist.
then I got a job in management of a shop that had a union
Ed, i respect your love for christianity's potential to reinforce good values, i get it
"Me, me, me. Mine." -Me when I was 3, probably
and it does have that potential
but its not singlehandedly responsible, nor is it singlehandedly the future
it's more than just "potential", it is highly influential
people have to ultimately choose the right things
religion is just one means to self reinforce
they tend to when led by their religious convictions
like, again, murdering babies being bad or not
something that simple
