i never had any doubts about Focus on the Family, or anything that James Dobson controlled.
You take a PhD in Psychology, couple that with a (mostly bad) Sunday school education in Theology, and then try to integrate the two.
To which side do you such an integration is going to be skewed?
What you end up with is a skinny, shorter Dr. Phil with more hair, without the Texas accent, and without Oprah Winfrey's hippo Harpo Productions...what the hell does anybody see in that cow?... to make him famous.
Dobson is nothing but a political whore (the likes of which Jerry Fallwell's enemies wish that Jerry had been), spouting Ten-years-out-of-date Pop psychobabble bovine scatology, posing as Christian councilling. While that kind of stuff might work for Mr. and Mrs. Mayonaise Q. Whitebread and their family, it is useless for people who actually have some difficulties in their lives.
Evangelicals are so bloody gullible.
I wasn’t speaking particularly of Dobson — but Del Tackett wh is spearheading the Truth Project. Dobson readily admits he himself isn’t a theologian.
But you're right, 'doubts' was putting it lightly.
