Good I-monk post

Here's a good post from Internetmonk on the culture war.  Here's an excerpt:
Imagine, for a moment, that I came to your typically conservative evangelical church and asked to visit with your young people, high school through young married couples. I want to ask them some questions. -What do you think of the President?
-What is your position on abortion?
-What do you believe about the legalization of gay marriage?
-Are you in favor of any version of Federally controlled health care?
-What is your church’s definition of the inspiration and authority of scripture?
-What is a brief definition of the Trinity?
-How does your church’s beliefs differ from Roman Catholicism? 
He goes on to say he would get pretty vigorous, clearly articulated responses to the first 4 questions but a lot of blank stares at the last 3.  Anyway he goes on to address this problem and talk a bit about American idolatry.  Good stuff.
