My late husband was a republican his whole life until he saw Pat Buchanan spewing his hatred at the 1992 Rethug convention. He turned to me and said, "Could you please pick up a voter registration form for me tomorrow? I don't want to be associated with these people anymore." Bear in mind, this was a man who voted for Nixon. Twice. And Reagan, but only once.
Love does make for strange bedfellows, but you'll be surprised at how well it can work. I've always found TRUE Christians tend to lean left...just like Christ. She's probably only conservative because she thinks she has to be. She's probably been hearing it from the pulpit for a while. Just keep reminding her about Matthew (don't know the chapter and verse) separating the sheep from the goats. And of course Christ railed against public prayer during his sermon on the Mount, so I think he would have been against school prayer, too. And do we even have to remind her about his attitude regarding turning the other cheek when wronged?
Go for it, dude. The heart wants what it wants. Take love where you can find it.
