Testimonial:
"It is obvious, and has been for quite some time, that James Dobson, and others like him, have uesed their position from the pulpit to advance a very narrow interpretation of scripture to fit their own political gains. It worked in 2000 and 2004, but by 2006, it began to wear off as more and more of the electorate, many of whom were Christians, grew wary of their motives. It is quite comforting to see many within the evangelical community wake up and realize that there is more to being a good Christian than just being against abortion and gay rights. Part of being a good steward means to care for one another as well as to care about the planet we inhabit. The Pharasees knew how to judge and divide, but Jesus exposed their hearts and, in so doing, called us all to love one another.
"Today the venom and hatred of the Pharisees is alive and well and living in the Christian Right. Only by, as Jesus did, exposing their hardened hearts can we begin the process of letting in the light of God and advancing His Kingdom on Earth."
I wrote the above due to the recent comments made by James Dobson in response to statements made by Barack Obama on his faith. I invite all of you to read them for yourselves and not take the word of somebody else.

I liked Dobson when he was just focusing on the family. He lost me when he became an attack dog for the GOP. To say, "If you're pro-family, you'll vote this way" is diabolical. Poor Jim. One day he'll wonder, "Where did I lose my way?" in addition to "Where did everybody go?"
