That makes me sad. I thought Conservatives placed a great value on thinking.
If you've been following the Trump campaign, you lost that ideal a very long time ago.
I used to think that Conservatives were the thinkers too, until very recently.
Trump's popularity proves one of two things. Either conservatives are illogical, emotional and unethical, or Trump followers are not conservative.
There really isn't another option.
But to RoosGirl's point.
Sometimes overthinking removes our 'reality' from the spiritual, and we forget the basics of what is right and what is wrong.
The book of Romans deals a lot with the foolishness of the philosophers of the age, vs the reality and truth in God's word.
I recommend you re-read it.
