Of course. I don't believe in rituals or dogma. They constrict creativity. I gravitate towards creative, kind, hard-working, critical-thinking people - who are not always in sync with my thoughts or opinions, but can maintain an open mind. A lot of conservatives these days fit that bill.
The way I look at it, “conservatism” and “liberalism”, as they’re defined today, could better be expressed as “supportive/unsupportive of accountability to standards and questioning/unquestioning toward the norm/standards”.
There has to be a bedrock standard upon which all else is built either way, or the script is lost. I choose God and Jesus.
Once someone is jarred into questioning things, they have to have a bedrock or the script can be lost. Not questioning the standards is dangerous because it’s almost impossible for us to truly get things right.
As you noted, the way things are right now, the script has flipped and “conservatives” are the ones questioning authorities, and “liberals” are the ones enforcing rigidity. It’s weird to see.
We eventually need both to come together against the Satanists, who definitely exist and are definitively evil, in unison. Scare event necessary.
