Conservatives: In a Nutshell

I have often suggested that conservatives are either: mean, selfish, or ignorant (or some combination therein). Some of my friends insist that I include 'religious' in this list. But i argue that 'religious' was already addressed with the 'selfish and ignorant' categories. Monotheism is not good at sharing (opinions on right/wrong, cosmological outlook, etc.) and it truly requires an act of enormous will to continue to claim that there is something watching us (Ignorance). Now, I am not claiming that all religious people are ignorant and/or selfish. I have met plenty of non-denominational folks that are very willing to admit that they are not 100% certain that their particular brand of belief system is the ONLY way to go. I also don't wish to simply supplant religious cosmology with the scientific method. I will say, however, that I prefer inquisitive minds to closed minds.
