I kid you not: a lot of evangelical Christians would see no problem with half of Obama's platform you described: no death penalty, complete government-paid (i.e. taxpayers-paid) healthcare, and anti-gun. You can't use "results of studies show..." to form arguments: to Christians they are on the line of empricism and thus "humanist".
Well, let me tell you! CHeck out Irving Bible CHurch is Irving, Texas!
This is the evangelical church I was born and raised it. I am a strong conervative and don't buy into one liberal lie. My church has joined this emergent movemant it seems, buit has failed to let the congregation know about it! I'm not stupid though and can see right through it. Most of the people in my church are conservatives, but I think the pastor, music minister would both admit to being more liberal now than before. Most in the church don't know what is happening and it is sad. I hate seeing this happen to a good church.
