When I was a pot smoking atheist, I had dozens of friends, we all had the same interests. However, they all had a bad influence on me.
Now that I'm a conservative Baha'i, I have only one good friend, who lives an hour's drive away. He's soon moving further away, a two hour's drive. He's been nothing but the best influence on me. Initially, we had no similar interests, but now, his interests are mine, and my interests are his.
My life is now much better than it was before.
These decisions can have a profound impact on our lives.
What kind of conserative? IMO, and in experience there is the mob mentality that goes along with the conservative theory.
For instance, it was ok to kill jews and other so-called inferiors to his race b/c Hitler said so.
I guess I expect that from a so-called conservative.
Whoa! That's way off the mark. Don't you honestly know that most born-again Christians believe that the Jews are God's chosen people and have to take a great part in Armageddon and the End of Days, that the redemption of sins is thru a JEW?? I'd advise you to actually read up instead of spouting ignorant statements.
