Several years ago I used to listen to Dr. Dobson on his nightly broadcasts but when he crossed from preacher to political activist I stopped listening and held my peace but his activities became more and more pronounced until he was sending threatening lessers to unbeleivers that either they tow the bible line without salvation or converion or he was going to toss them to the dogs -- and for me that was the moment of truth and iI vigorously posted against his activities. Now as you indicate since he did not get what he wanted strong arming unbleivers now he is trying to get what he wants by compromise.
And this is the nature of this as we have seen in countless preachers ministries and so called christian orgainizations.
Now I await (sadly) the crash nd burn of yet another that had he stuck to his call -- and not lusted after the power and glamour of the world he could have done much more for the cause of christ. -- Instead of the cause of Dr. James Dobson.
Trying to keep our government true to its republican standards and articulating a desire for a basic moral framework to our society is not imposing Christianity on unbelievers. See, Christians are so fractured that they are worthless. Some think politics is evil on its face. Others think that we must compromise like crazy. Then there are those like me who think the church needs to focus on the truth of the gospel, but that Christians, even Christian leaders, also have an obligation as citizens of this country. WE THE PEOPLE are the government. Those who vote in Washington and in state houses are simply our representatives. If the government is corrupt and immoral then it is our fault. The gospel doesn't belong in government, but what happens in government effects our right to preach and share the truth, so we'd better pay attention.
