  1.  @notyourroad  That's right. We can't think about understanding people who don't think. That's why they don't make any sense.

  2. "How can they not realize they are in a cult?" Same way ignorant people lack the understanding to know they're ignorant. It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect. To be what they are, they have to first lack the wisdom to not be what they are, which would also mean they're unable to see what they are.

  3. What does it mean to not only be an atheist, but also a Christian Conservative? Well, seems to me a Christian Conservative must be different from a Christian. Their conservatism modifies or qualifies their Christianity, to the point that it's less about what Jesus taught, and more about being a modern conservative--which would, of course, be different that what conservatism meant before Trump. So what do Christian Conservatives do and want? We've seen that. They're against abortion, LGBTQ, and refuse to acknowledge that black lives matter; they want to "put God (i.e., enforcement of prayer and prudishness) back into schools...and government." And they don't just personally dislike those things (as I dislike pie, but prefer cake), but actively seek to force their way onto others--making it so that everyone must eat pie, so to speak, and never cake. :) So an atheist can do all those things, since it isn't really about loving one another, but more about the bigotry and persecution of others that's practiced by Christian Conservatives.
