  Pat -

  Dobson is a psychologist, not a trained preacher. Why is he almost always referred to as Dr.? In this country, usage of the salutation is used when referring to a phd in the context of academia (MD’s are always referred to Dr.). I think it is kind of misleading (and phony) to refer to his holiness as Dr. I’m probably going to hell for this post, but so be it.

  Dr. Dobson has a PhD in child development from the University of Southern California and served on the faculty of the USC school of medicine. He is not a minister nor does he have a church. His comments regarding Barack Obama came after Obama’s statements about him. It wasn’t an attack, it was a defense.

  Dobson is a self-righteous bigot and has as much credibility as Al Sharpton. They’be both con men. As to Dobson expressing outrage over Obama saying you don’t have to be religious to be moral, some of most moral people I know are atheists and some of the most immoral people I know of profess to be Christians. Morality has to do with how people lead their lives, not their professed religious beliefs or lack thereof.

  Dobson may be self rightous or whatever. But he is right! Obama is trying the oldest trick in the book. You cannot group all religions into one universal religion that works. That might work for people who do not know God. But God said”Jesus is the only doorway” which men can be saved. So we will see how long Obama lasts with his bogus ideas.

  I’m so glad we have someone on this web site who “knows” God and what God “said.” It must be so self-satisfying to have such superior knowledge.

  Actually it is quite satisfying, Mr Baseball you should try him. Anyone can know God if you are willing to put aside self and accept Jesus as savior. There is nothing complicated about God at all. What is complicated is people who refuse to think about anyone but themselves. And yes I have met God in person!! He is called the Holy Spirit. Try him sometime. And if you read the bible you might see what he says to.

  Wade: Which version of Chrisianity is the right one? Catholic? Evangelical Protestant? The Church of God with Signs Following (otherwise known as Snake Handlers)? There are hundreds of Christian denominations, and they don’t all agree among one another on even some of the most basic theological principles (the Resurrection, the Trinity, the virginity of Mary, the Second Coming, etc.) There also are tens of millions of Christians who are shockingly ignorant of what’s actually in the Bible. There also are millions who say the Bible must be taken literally on all counts, but then back away from that when you confront them with certain excerpts. A recent survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows that most Americans don’t believe that their own demonination is the only way to salvation, even if their denomination teaches otherwise. Still, despite that tendency toward tolerance and pluralism among Americans, the vast majority of religious adherents here and around the world belong to the religions into which they were born and raised. It isn’t as if they came to the subject as open-minded adults. Almost all of them cling to the religions they were taught as children to cling to. There are exceptions to that rule, but not many.

  There is no correct version of Christianity. Jesus never came to this world to establish a religion of any kind. Especially Christanity! What he did do however, is establish The Kingdom of God. Basically he brought the benifits of his kingdom to earth. It is real simple if you read the book of Daniel. First the bayonians, then Persa, then the Greeks, then the Romans, and last the Kingdom of God that has no end. It is a government that is to come. Where Christ rules supreme and there is no longer any evil present. Just because man decides to establish a religion in his name means nothing. I can start a religion if I want to. All religions are wrong! Because it is not about religion. It is about Jesus Christ! The real question is. Have you submitted yourself to him or not. It is that simple.

  By the way its Bablyonians not Bayonians “sorry”

  What is interesting about Wade’s comments is that now, with the new Mediterranian union, we could be witnessing the re-establishment and rebirth of Rome.
