Evangelicals and The Culture War

Internet Monk, Michael Spencer has an interesting post concerning the increased heat of cultural issues that in some places is often raging into a bon fire. His post is long, and I'm not sure about everything he is saying, but I definately think it is worth the read to help us think through these issues. Here is a excerpt:

The Culture War makes sense to Christians who have little or no idea how to be Christians in this culture except to oppose liberals and fight for a conservative political and social agenda- an agenda often less than completely examined in the light of scripture, reason, tradition and experience. Those evangelicals- like Greg Boyd- who have challenged or broken the identification with the political right can testify to how they are immediately viewed. Dissenting evangelicals are labeled as pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage and pro- Democrat instantly.
