The Bible says a lot of things, and people of all political persuasions who profess to believe in its moral/ethical authority willfully ignore passages in droves.

The point shouldn't be that Evangelicals are interpreting the Bible incorrectly, but that what the Bible prescribes is irrelevant to matters of public policy.
