Reply #76: Within my church, we call these people 'pharisees' [View All]

I think you're confusing particular sects of Christianity with conservative Christianity. My own church is a very conservative Christian Presbyterian church (and I'm very typical withing my church). We do not oppoe secularism, indeed- we realize it is part of the very fabric of our existence and embrace many, many parts of it.

Maybe by conservative Christian, you actually mean a poltical conservative who drapes it within the garb of Christianity ofr good effect. Within my church, we call these people 'pharisees'.


However, I don't beieve it's semantics at all as you stated a few posts back. It's 'context'. Using the word 'conservative' in and of itself has many different meaning depending on context-- religious, political, or even the portion size of a meal.
