The liberals ask me how the hell are you conservative and don’t believe in god? .

Can anyone offer any insight into this?

Conservative / Liberal is a “political” / “governing establishment” agenda.

Disbelief in God, is a “religious...or anti-religious” belief/standing.

While your standing/belief IS Against God being your Creator/Maker...
Regardless of your “political stance of a favored seated for governing”...

I am interested IN what you do believe Created and Made...
The Heavens, The Earth, The Sun, Plants, Trees, Animals and
Earthly Human People...

Care to share in a brief synopsis ?

Glory to God,
Taken

@Taken Leaving aside labels, Hebrews 11.6 is an important yardstick:

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

I'm not sure what you're getting at mate, I just chilled and knuckled down to serving my time without complaining or batting an eye..:)
In fact I was laying on my bunk one morning reading 'Geronimo: Apache Warrior' from the prison library when a guard opened my cell door and said "What's up? Don't you want to leave us?" because I'd clean forgot it was my release day, so I hurriedly packed up and was signed out the main gate.
Drat, I never did get to finish the book (sniffle)

@Dropship So you wanted to stay inside a bit longer to read the library book? :)

Yup, they could have let me stay for at least another couple of days.
Also I fancied the young lady chaplain (we all did) and it broke my heart to have to leave her. (sniffle)
