There's the headline, then there's the body
Reuters:
Wow. All Christians? So sayeth the headline, but the body says:
I didn't know all Christians were conservative! You could knock me down with a feather.
And remember the old joke about the Holy Roman Empire? "Neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire"?
Maybe it needs updating. "Christian conservatices? Neither Christian, nor conservative." Certainly true of the leadership, if not all the rank and file.
Unless you think theocracy is conservative, of course.
