I guess I'll just note that I actually like James Dobson. I've read several of his books and enjoyed them immensely.
I will admit that there was a recent incident where he made some kind of bizarre connection stating that SpongeBob Squarepants was actually a cartoon which had a hidden agenda for homosexuality and lesbianism -- to which I thoroughly scratched my head saying, "Buh?"
I realize that other's here might not like what Dobson says. I myself do not necessarilly agree with everything he says -- especially theologically. But, on the whole, I do enjoy reading his material. His book "Love for a Lifetime" was excellent.

Re: Anti-family values
Editted to add* content.
Ok...in all seriousness, what exactly could we (I guess I'm considered right wing kind off) actually do to become less right wing?
Technically speaking, as a Catholic, I do have some views concerning the dealth penalty that would put me in left field. Same with some social issues, such as feeding the poor, etc. And technically speaking, again as a Catholic, I do consider my representative here on earth to be Pope Benedict. And locally, we tend to look towards our Bishops in the adminsitrative sense over our local areas.
But, all in all, I'm not really sure how I can change without actually changing inwardly. I mean, it's what I believe -- so how can I simply change my position to conform to left-wing expectations?
I can't if it's something I don't agree with.
*which I find ironic since most people tell me my posts are too long.

Re: Official warning to Mr. Ex Nihilo also
My apologies Adminnemooseus.
I didn't mean to upset you with that post. And I honestly didn't see that warning before.
Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say.
Hope this post wasn't too short (or too long).

Where Did Love Fall? by David Haggith
I've felt for some time that articles like this accurately portray a sizable majority within Christian circles. The articles discusses the fall in the garden from a similar yet surprisingly different take than usual.
