Conservative Christian does not equal objectivist. In fact, the core philosophy that selfishness is good is pretty incompatible with Christianity.

If you are truly a christian and believe all the teachings of jesus then you most likely are a socialist.

Jesus was not a politician nor did he subscribe to a political philosophy because too many things he said conflicted to have a singular ideal. For instance Jesus advocated mercy and forgiveness but not he also did not denounce all laws. His message was not one of politics but of the spirit and to try to take the few quotes we have from him that have been re-translated multiple times designed for the context of something else entirely and getting his political views is crazy. Personally I am always highly suspect anyone that tries to think they have the inside track on what Jesus or God "really" meant because they are typically trying to twist His meaning to their own beliefs.
