Dobson sounds more like an anti-Christian bigot all the time.
"We use that word Christian to refer to people who are evangelical Christians"
I guess I'm not a "Christian" then...at least not Dobson's type.

"We use that word Christian to refer to people who are evangelical 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, many of whom have died for Christ under persecutions by Roman pagans and Muslims (and in other patriarchates, Communists).

Frankly this is hilarious. The baby boomer generation (50-60 years old) falls into both camps. Those that faithfully watched L&O for years and also consider themselves Christian. Dobson to them is a voice they would consider. But then they remember Thompson on TV as well. LOL, they'll be wandering around in circles outside the voting booths arguing with themselves over who to believe
And I'll pass right by them to cast my vote for Rep. Ron Paul

Do you believe that in your heart???
