Rick Warren is the only high profile opening into the extremist evangelical movement. And Obama hit it at the right time by inviting him. I was surprised that a evangelical like Warren would be sympathetic towards AIDS. But now, I will not be surprised if he has "another awakening" and becomes sympathetic towards gay marriage and begins to see it more as a commitment between individuals similar to the ones he sees when he marries a man and a woman. These evangelicals view marriage as a reproduction machine, something that increases their flock numbers. Seeing a man and a woman as mere instruments of reproduction is dehumanizing.
