Misidentification of Terms?
I don't really understand Ms. Sullivan; Evangelicals are Protestants, but Protestant doesn't mean Evangelical or Evangelist.
Evangelists do not - and I mean _never_ subscribe to the theory that the Bible shouldn't be taken literally. If you don't believe me, just look up the definition of 'Evangelical' in Webster's. If you know an Evangelist who says 'You don't have to believe the Bible literally,' they are quite simply _not_ an Evangelist, and that includes Ms. Sullivan.
2 Timothy 3:16 summarizes an Evangelist's view of the Bible:
"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness."
As such, Evangelists do not condone abortion, and as for gay marriage - well, since we don't believe in sex outside of marriage in any form, (and it's marriage between man and woman) we will obviously never approve of it.
Peace,
XY
