Now conservatives aren't leftists, because leftism and liberalsim are not the same thing.
But leftism is the icing that everyone sees on a cake, whereas liberalism is all the batter that makes up the cake. Most conservatives unknowingly accept the bread part of the cake without realizing it, but reject wokeism, not realizing they are natural extensions of each other.
To define what you must believe to not be a liberal
-
Women getting the right to vote was incredibly foolish, one of the most foolish things any society has ever done...the two sexes are very diffferent, they have different roles. Determining the fate of a nation is not one of them
-
The civil rights act of 1965 was a horrible thing
-
Thinking that white society as it behaves is better than black society as a general as they behave is not a racist thing, it's just a neutral observation
-
More things that I can't think of right now, but those are the majors.
I would say most conservatives would sort of get nervous and go "well I wouldn't go that far" or "I think women should be allowed to vote" or any number of things on those main issues.
I'd say 99% of Americans and Westerners in general are liberal.
You don't have to be a neo nazi or white nationalist to be not a liberal, but you have to at least reject white guilt completely.
Being comfortable in your position in life means you either don't care, or choose not to think if there's an eternity and the implications.
The worst place you can be in life while you're currently under God's judgement is content. Fellowship with the world is enmity with God.
This life is like a vapor, like a puff of smoke, you see it for a moment and then eternity.
Jesus spoke on hell over and over and over. He mentioned hell far more than He mentioned heaven....and why? Because He knows many people are content in their life and He's trying to sober them up.
The reality that there is an eternal hell, is meant to sober a person up. Repenting and turning to Christ out of fear of hell is completely legitimate. Many saved people turn to Christ out of the fear of hell. He wouldn't have spoken so often about it if it wasn't a legitimate reason. He said, do everything you can to avoid that place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
I won't proselytize at you any more. But you need to dwell on this for your own sake.
When eternal stakes are involved "content agnostocism" is like a man sitting on the beach happy, ignoring that others are trying to warn him that a tsunami is coming, but he's happy on the beach right now so he intentionally closes his ears to the warnings.
The fear of hell is how governments controlled people into doing what they wanted.
The obvious decline of marriage is a prime example of this that we can see with data available to us in our modern era. When the ability of religious people to drive fear of hell into people's minds declined, so did the practice of things they supported.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but there isn't some magical place where you get reunited with your dead family members. They're gone. For good. Treasure the memories, and they'll live in your heart, but you're never going to see them again. I had to handle this when I lost my father, and it made me understand why people believe in religion.
You want to believe you'll get to say those things you wish you said, to hug and smile, and share a drink again...to relive the good times you had with who you lost. But that's not reality. Once you're done, it's lights out. Accepting it doesn't help with the grief. I still can't see or do certain things without getting emotional over the loss. But living in a delusion won't help you either. It's nothing but a coping strategy, in the most literal sense.
I can't lie, even typing this comment hurt, which is why it doesn't have my usual pointed tone.
