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

Well, clearly you found us at t_d

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

I agree. I think it takes the careful consideration and vanguarding of the population to maintain such a system. And that's exactly what we're doing here.

that careful consideration comes on a community level. if you choose religion, great.

never trust an atheist

whatever your geographic location/municipality is up to as long as its valuable

their morals change with the weather

Absolutely. That's a mistake the left has made, for which we should be thankful. They prefer to screech at the nation from the comfort of their basements, instead of truly trying to change their community.

Some states have fallen to shit through entropy of one type or another, true.

but the internet gives them a voice unfortunately

then we're on the same page. when people on the right complain that there's nothing we can do, i would argue that being good role models, having strong marriages and raising good kids is already a great impact one man can make

we need to interact with the youth more

And helping those in their communities

and (gag) have some of us going into teaching

because liberal losers that take up that occupation are brainwashing our children

that's something we as conservatives do poorly

@Kekistani American I think we're entirely on the same team (of course!) in this story, no question about it

Some guys have had amazing success with mentoring kids without fathers
