I'm normally a BIG fan of Dobson, but I sure do not think it was a good idea for him to say someone is NOT a Christian unless he KNOWS.
I cannot believe he would basically endorse Newt (over Thompson) like that after Newt has admitted to having an extramarital affair.

It's not a matter "I'll bite" . but I'll tell you anyway. It is not some one born in the USA because this is a "Christian Nation". Nor is it someone that has belonged to a church all of his life. Any one can say they are Christians without knowing the Lord. A Christian is a person that has accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Believes in the virgin birth and that he died for them and was raised from the dead and sits at the right hand of God in heaven until his return. If you don't believe that, you are NOT a true Christian, not matter what a Priest tells you or what you think. I don't like "preaching" to others but by reading some of these posts, it is evident that a lot of those here don't understand the real meaning of the word.

Neither is Rudy Giuliani. Rudy doesn't have the balls to say what his real faith is.

By the way, all people sin all the time, including born again Christians.

In that case I want the word back. I serve the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, "where the disciples were first called Christians," as a humble subdeacon. It's our name, and Dobson has no right to narrow its meaning to a particular species of protestant, thereby excluding those the name Christian originally belonged to...
Sir, that was a profound and AMAZING Post...
Thank you...
Mr. Dobson (and other sanctimonious evangelicals) YOU HAVE BEEN...
PWNED!!!

"Being a Christian is not and never has been a requirement for political office in this country. If that is your criteria then please do the country a favor and don't vote -- ever again."Why don't you do the country a favor and move to Iran or Pakistan.

If he did not know, why would Dobson open his clap trap?Rhetorical, right? Beside liking the sound of his voice, Dobson was, wink-wink, reminding people that Thompson isn't the right kind of Christian. (But you probably already knew that...)
To: fortunecookie
I have no idea what Dobson yaks about most of the time. I'm RC, so I don't pay him or falwell or any televangelist any attention.

Being a Christian is not and never has been a requirement for political office in this country. You may be surprised to find this in the Delaware Constitution of 1776:
Art. 22. Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust . . . shall . . . make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit: "I ________, do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scripture of the Old and New Testaments to be given by divine inspiration."

Dobson was, wink-wink, reminding people that Thompson isn't the right kind of Christian. Exactly. Which seems to be a major pastime for some Freepers around here, too.

I know. It seems they are almost emboldened as of late. Sigh. Missing the bigger picture entirely...

That's because it often is not truly about "morality" with these people ... it's about "POWER" ....

I was interested in what he had to say when the big 'Focus on Family' push started years ago, my son was very young and I thought it could be good, you know, for all Christians. Sigh, it was a little while till it dawned on me that I wasn't the kind of Christian he intended to target. I don't pay him or Falwell much attention anymore. Except to wonder at some of their comments that seem decidedly divisive, cliquish and non-Christian.
To: Howlin
They have tunnel vision, IMO.Yes. And they're using it to throw the baby out with the bathwater by excluding people who aren't 'their' type of Christian.

That Joe Ratzinger fellow is a nice enough guy and he seems to support family values and all, but...
