Promising, but let’s not get our hopes too high. For there will ALWAYS be a Christian conservative somewhere that will say something to the effect (as they have before): “We love Jews, that’s why we want to convert them to Jesus.”
Always seems to happen - maybe we’ll get lucky this time and not alienate them...
I am not sure whether you used the term “Christian” conservative as a descriptive term referring to a subset of conservatives or whether you meant it as a pejorative. In any case, I thought I would attempt to clarify some misinformation I perceived in your post.
First, Christians don’t believe they can convert anyone. They do believe that God by His grace converts people to a saving belief in His Son Jesus. Many Christians are eager to tell non-believers the Gospel, which is the good news about Christ. But again no Christian believes they are called to tie someone up in order to witness to them. They will never hold a gun to anyone’s head or in any way coerce them to listen much less believe. We get no special reward for a witness resulting in someone’s receiving God’s grace.
Sorry, I did not mean to lecture. You are free to believe whatever you want about God and Christians. However, you might try not to offend “Christian” conservatives because there aren’t enough of you “secular” conservatives to ever win a single ballot box without us. Haven’t you noticed the states commonly called the Bible Belt are all red states? And the states with the most non-church goers are blue?
It goes without saying that Christian conservatives also can’t win at the ballot box without the help of secular conservatives.
I hope you don’t take offense because none was intended but that all conservatives could come to understand each other better.
What about how they alienate us?
