Dobson is no Christian

Once again the mighty, in his own deluded mind, James Dobson has threatened to place democratic senators in the "bull's eye" if they dare exercise their constitutional duty. The duty, of course, is that of passing on the nominations to the federal judiciary. Mr. Dobson believes that they should rubber stamp approval of the nominees sent to the hill, that is only if they are "strict constructionists" (read backward, redneck freedom haters who want to turn the country back to where it was 150+ years ago).

Once again Mr. Dobson demonstrates that not only is he not a Christian, but that he hasn't the first clue as to what it means to follow the teachings of the One from Nazareth. Did not the One counsel against mixing religion and politics? Did not the One counsel against hating ones enemies? His followers would do well to heed the words:

Matt. 7:15-20 - "Be on your guard against false religious teachers, who come to you dressed up as sheep but are really greedy wolves. You can tell them by their fruit. Do you pick a bunch of grapes from a thorn-bush or figs from a clump of thistles? Every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree is incapable of producing bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. The tree that fails to produce good fruit is cut down and burnt. So you may know men by their fruit."

Matt. 7:21 - "It is not everyone who keeps saying to me 'Lord, Lord' who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the man who actually does my Heavenly Father's will.

Dobson, on the other hand, would do well to follow this admonishment:

Matt. 7:22-23 - "In 'that day' many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we preach in your name, didn't we cast out devils in your name, and do many great things in your name?' Then I shall tell them plainly, 'I have never known you. Go away from me, you have worked on the side of evil!'"

James Dobson is one of a long line of opportunistic charlatans who are no more Christian that the man (or woman) in the moon. Such disgraceful men are interested in but three things, wealth, power and the trappings they bring. One can imagine the conversation cited in Matthew 7:22-23 above between Dobson and the Lord.

And a Happy New Year to you and yours, may it be filled with health, happiness and fulfillment.
