Some friends I just can’t shake

hard enough

around the neck

with a firm grip

    From persnoal experience, not really. Only some are, just like how some Christians are too and not all of them. Humans will always human, no matter the label.

      Honestly when I lived in the US, the Conservative xtian thing really surprised me.

      Here in the UK xtians tend to be left of center. And the center is historica,ly way more left then the US left.

      US Conservative ideals really do not seem even close to the xtian teaching I grew up around.

        That’s because all the conservative Christians either got kicked out, fled, or otherwise ended up in the New World a few centuries ago. They really lean into the prosperity gospel nowadays as well, which is all kinds of problematic.

          Seriously flawed view of europeen religiose history. Most of the last 200 years has been way more Conservative then current us.

          Even mild progerivism only started to take hold in Europe ixtians n the 1900s.
