Okay. In the last week I have seen some posters talk about the devil like " the devil tried to persuade me" or "the end of this world when the devil will try to take over". or "I fight the devil" The posters talk as if they see the devil or talk to the devil and the devil is in some kind of human form.
I've been thinking about something recently. Does Christianity make people conservative? Sometimes it seems like christian and conservative are so intertwined that they mean the same thing. Is it an unnatural relationship? If it's not christianity that does it; where do conservatives come from? Is it different churches that are at fault? Old people vs young? Lots of people from my generation want nothing to do with christianity because the association is so strong.

You are not allowed to think about this one ... a confined space enigma! How does one get out of a destructive pattern to a reverential (hallal --- Hebrew) space? Learn the metaphor of word ... plural to the nth degree!
One of the most interesting phenomena of American Christianity is its apparent affinity for Judaism. Politicans regularly speak of a “Judeo-Christian” moral base for American law (even though it is, in reality, closer to Roman law), and evangelicals often refer to their “Judaic” or “Jewish” roots - especially with those sophisticated enough to realize Jesus was not a blonde-hair blue-eyed American. I don’t feel the need to extrapolate all of the ways that American evangelical Christians look fondly at the Jewish nation - it is fairly transparent.
