Excerpt:
In contrast to 1997, when the religious right led denunciations of the deal negotiated in Kyoto, many of today's evangelicals want America to be generous and constructive.
The new mood reflects a generational change among evangelicals, says Andrew Walsh, a religion-watcher at Trinity College, Hartford. The younger lot wants to focus more on issues such as AIDS and the crisis in Darfur—a cluster of concerns that have more in common with climate change than with crusading against homosexuality.
I am pretty thrilled with this story. Change is in the air. Young Christians are beginning to realize that there are more important things in the world than harassing gay people and blaming them for their own adulterous affairs, broken marriages and closeted homosexual desires. I believe the reason for this is that we have all met gay people. And guess what? They are normal and just like us except they have a different sexual preference. So rejoice in the early hours of this Sunday.
