I have just as much of a problem with freaky evangies as you do, rb--however, I have to step in and say that the majority of the young evangelicals that I know (around 30 and younger) are more concerned with social justice than they are with moral conservatism, and almost all of them that I know are voting Obama. Just a sidenote to the conversation. These moderate and even liberal evangelicals (yes, there is such a thing) don't get mentioned in the news, but they are there, and I respect them for their vote.
