Mr. Inhofe said the vast majority of the nation's evangelical groups would oppose global warming legislation as inconsistent with a conservative agenda that also includes opposition to abortion rights and gay rights. He said the National Evangelical Association had been "led down a liberal path" by environmentalists and others who have convinced the group that issues like poverty and the environment are worth their efforts.
This is a fascinating little statement: it's probably the most concise summary I've ever seen of how certain individuals have decided to preach doctrines completely at odds with everything Jesus ever preached, up to and including some pretty vile doctrines, (poverty is not worth Christians' efforts?!) under the rather thin excuse of "real conservatives don't believe in this!"
Just a reminder to my Christian friends that just because someone calls himself an Evangelical and a conservative doesn't mean he actually believes in something you'd want to associate yourself with...
