| | :::::::::::::Faith and logic are boundless, but I'm not persuaded that faith and logic ''are [[conservatism]]''. If conservative insights increase at a geometric rate with a ratio of 2, why wouldn't we expect additions to Conservapedia to increase at the same rate?

| | ::::::::::::::I'm not convinced that faith and logic are boundless, as they are abstract concepts and can vary from person to person; you can't have "80% faith" in something, for example. However, in most cases I would agree that faith and logic are conservatism. It is obvious that conservative values lead to faith in a higher power, and conservative thinking is analogous to logic. Going back to what BradB said, it is certainly true that logic and faith are large components of conservatism, but there are other components, such as the inherent charitableness and chivalry conservatives exhibit, among other things. Unfortunately, I don't think conservatism can be infinite, as there is a finite amount of people in the world, but I think we all hope it could be!

| | + | In reply to BradB, I don't think quantity of edits is all that meaningful. The New Testament is far shorter than the Old Testament, and [[Jesus]]'s own teachings were briefer still. Denny makes an interesting point about charitableness and chivalry, but aren't both a product of logic and faith as well? Charity in light of its superior efficiency and promotion of God's will, and chivalry in light of its promotion of good relations between the genders.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 01:07, 25 March 2011 (EDT) |
