		<description>As a Christian, I find Dr. Dobson&#039;s comments offensive. Senator Obama was sharing his beliefs. Certainly each of us interprets the Bible as it speaks to us. Few among us are Bible scholars, but as Christians we rely on the words of Jesus who teaches us through the word that we are to &quot;love God with our whole heart and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.&quot;   

Dr. Dobson&#039;s ridicule of Senator Obama&#039;s remarks are disturbing and sad.</description>

		<description>Dobson doesn&#039;t seem to care that people are being killed in Iraq needlessly by his &quot;pro-life&quot; president. Check the bible on that one Dobson and see who&#039;s twisting the bible to suit their own world view.

What an idiot!</description>

		<description>Obama is correct.  But what Dobson doesn&#039;t want you to know is the bible is to be taken literally, but you have &quot;rightly divide&quot; it.  In the old testament it barred the Israelites from shellfish, to separate them from the other religions and people, not because it was evil.

Now, in the New Testament God told Peter to eat these same foods, even though he is jewish, and not supposed to eat them.  The point, it&#039;s not a sin, it&#039;s a matter of distinction between groups of people.  

I think Dobson is an idiot.  What Obama said was correct.  This coming from an evangelical Christian, who voted for G. Bush.  

Christian folks are some of the worst most racist, egotistial, inhumane people, but there are many, like myself, who just want to spread the gospel of Jesus, and make sure others know his love.

You can&#039;t govern based solely on the bible, but you can add bible beliefs that help govern.</description>

		<description>Hey! Sharon Minnesota:

Dobson has for may years attempted to shove his religion down peoples throats.  Does it ever occur to you that millions of good Chritian people in this country differ with his so-called Christian ideology.  Please remove your blinders and embrace others outside the Dobson narrow-minded world.</description>

		<description>In John 8:7 (New International Version) it states But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, &quot;If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.&quot;

James Dobson and Focus on the Family had an avid listener in me until I listened to them devote the majority of today&#039;s broadcast to bash and defame the character and spiritual beliefs of Barack Obama. 
James Dobson is an old psychologist that&#039;s trying to get his last 15 minutes of fame and he used his radio show to try and hurt the Obama campaign.
Dobson is hurting Barack Obama&#039;s campaign just as much and maybe even more than Rev. Wright! 
Dobson admitted today that he&#039;s not even a minister so why in the world is he so concerned about Obama&#039;s opinion of the Bible! 
James Dobson needs to use all his psychological training and do a psychological evaluation of his own sick twisted mind and leave Obama alone.  
To everybody agreeing with Dobson, you need to remember two words &quot;Obama 08!&quot; You are going to see change we can believe in...</description>

		<description>Anyone that reads into the Bible more than &quot;this was a good story&quot; is distorting it. It is a book. It may be the most published, translated, and recited book in history, but that is only because it has a history and people follow that history (pardon the pun) religiously.

The Bible is as physical as the Church is. I&#039;m not one for spirituality or God either, but if I was, I feel like ANYTHING physical, be it book or organization, would only serve to limit the &quot;limitless&quot;.

All you religious nut jobs need to go bless someone else for a while. We&#039;re trying to live and you&#039;re not helping.</description>

		<description>What makes anyone a &quot;leader in religion&quot; anyways?  I have my own thoughts on faith and fairy tales so if I were to ask 300 million people to send me a buck or I&#039;m going to be taken by &quot;God&quot; and half of them did it, would that make me a leader?  New Testament, Old Testament.  Whatever.  Let&#039;s get real and deal with our issues as a nation without talk of who interpreted a fairytale wrong people.</description>

		<description>Right here is a perfect case of evangelicals picking and choosing scripture they want to follow. They&#039;ll quote Leviticus until they&#039;re blue in the face to denounce homosexuality, yet strangely avoid the other laws handed down in the Old Testament. Obama was right, maybe people should actually read their Bibles for a change before they open their mouths.</description>

		<description>READ THIS! As a Christian I know for a fact that Dr. Dobson has twisted the Bible himself. He indorses women as pastors, (now I don&#039;t want to get into womens lib, just stating the facts) when the bible forbids it. His grandmother was a preacher. Also what is he a Doctor of? This guy is a hypocrate. Anyway as for the two candidates, same old sh_t, differant piles.</description>

		<description>Dobson, being a evangelical leader, failed to realize that by expressing judgment with criticism regarding someone else&#039;s faith, shows that Dobson knows little about the Bible.

But again, a person like Dobson may never know, no matter how many times he reads it.</description>

		<description>Why is CNN reporting on this?

Dobson has his own radio show for which to spout off his opinions. The people who listen to Dobson are mostly people who will not cross party lines and vote democrat.

Honestly though, the speech Dobson is talking about was one of the major reasons I decided to support Obama. He has it right that decisions should not be made solely on religious beliefs.</description>

		<description>America was formed due to the providence of Almighty God.  It was allowed to prosper and flurish for 200 years due to the desire of its people to honor and worship the Creator.  As we have taken our eye off of Him and focused on our own self interest, we now see what a mess we are in.   Just reading the hateful, hurtful, condescending,  venom spewing comments, gives me good indication of our future discord with the future.  Dr. Dodson is correct  in his comments and offers it as a warning.</description>

		<description>Many of you speak of supporting Obama and want an end to war and want our country to return to it&#039;s place of honor in the world and yet in the same breath you lambaste a guy (in this case, Dobson) and call for his head because he has a DIFFERENT opinion. How is that attitude going to help return our country to a place of honor? If you honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights you&#039;ll allow him to speak his opinion just as you do. It seems that intolerance is NOT just found in the religious camp; on the contrary, I find more hate and contempt and intolerance in the non-religious sector that keeps calling religious (Christian) people &quot;zealots&quot;, &quot;nutcases&quot;, &quot;intolerant&quot;, &quot;bigotted&quot;, etc. How can you stand there and call someone these things when in order to do so, you&#039;re exhibiting the very behavior you seemingly claim to abhor? If you want to see hypocrisy, look no further than a mirror if you feel that the best way for America to move forward is to SILENCE those who oppose you. Seems to me Hitler did that too.</description>

		<description>all I see is a bunch on scared children, using big words to puff out their chests. You call for separation of church and state, yet you call for the silencing of a private citizen.

Dobson purchased this airtime and as such, is free to speak, just as Obama is free to speak. 

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 16:25

If we only spent more time loving as Christ loved us and less time trying to match the hate of those who hate us. Change is coming and unfortunately, I highly doubt any of you will be happy with what you get. 

You decide what side I&#039;m on.</description>

		<description>I think the only sensible point, which neither person, Obama or Dobson, seem willing to make, is that the Bible is utterly useless as a moral guide.

Obama is right that Leviticus calls for bigotry against gays but also calls eating shrimp an abomination and contains rules that condone slavery.  So if Dobson wants to persecute gays based on the Bible, he must also picket Red Lobster and buy slaves.

But here is the conclusion that both should admit but will not; the Bible is the product of primitive humans, has nothing to do with a god and is not divine.  It&#039;s just another book and not even a good one when it comes to ethics.</description>

		<description>I have been a Christian for over 50 yrs., of the Southern Baptist denomination. I cannot believe what I am hearing from Dr. Dobson! It would be interesting to know how many times he has quoted and taught from the book of Leviticus or how many times he has used the 10 Commandments in his sermons. I do not understand his position on the relevance of the Old Testament to the New Testament-it&#039;s all the word of God. I have always believed that a man called to preach is supposed to lead people to Christ-not drive them away from him. I HAD a great deal of respect for Dr. Dobson-not anymore.

		<description>Every Christian group reads the bible differently, and interprets the bible&#039;s meaning differently.  Translations over years that have varied, and been changed to meet the needs of individual Religious groups, have also made interpretation of the bible suspect.

Dobson and his group believe in a Fundamental Belief that the Bible is the absolute word of God, with no variance, with no questioning allowed.  For most Christians, the bible represents a tool, with important messages and teachings in it.  However, a small, but growing group of Fundamentalists, believe that only the Bible&#039;s Rules and Laws, are what moral standards should be set by.

Simple enough... except, NOT all Americans are Christian, and most don&#039;t believe the same way Dobson and his group do.  

Keep your personal beliefs to yourself Mr. Dobson... teach to those who will listen... and love all others, whether they believe in your belief&#039;s... or not... it&#039;s not the job of Christian Groups to condemn... 

Only the Lord can do that... And fundamentalists have a hard time understanding forgiveness, and love... and continue to condemn those that don&#039;t believe as they do.</description>

		<description>Hey, OBAMA RULES ALL THE WAY TO WHITE HOUSE, you don&#039;t think Obama is rich????  Obama is a dangerous man, he will lead us to conflict if he gets in the White House.  Some of the ignoramous out there think he&#039;s just like JFK, I think he&#039;s going to be a lot more like Jimmy Carter and it&#039;s going to take us years to clean up his mess.  What is Obama going to do so you&#039;re not a &quot;STRUGGLING AMERICAN&quot;?  Is he going to hire you to do something?  I wonder what, perhaps clean his office from all the BS that comes out of his mouth.</description>

		<description>It is time for a leader who is capable of recognizing the importance of incorporating acceptance and the separation of church and state. Focus on the family is one of many, many, fundamentalist groups who preach hate and discord to anyone who will listen. They are of course, entitled to their beliefs, but anyone with a brain won&#039;t isten.

They are of course, entitled to their beliefs, but anyone with a brain won't isten. </p>
<p>OBAMA FOR CHANGE!!! Get the religious right outta here!!!</p>

		<description>The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a &quot;wall of separation&quot; between church and state.
Research, people...the phrase &quot;separation of church and state&quot; is NOT in the Constitution. Those of you who want separation of church and state are totally ignoring the fact that the founding fathers were God-fearing men. They didn&#039;t want a theocracy, but they also didn&#039;t want to cut God out of the government.
As far as Dobson, everyone has the right to express their opinions. Why is it that when right-wing Christians do it, it&#039;s unacceptable?</description>

		<description>He&#039;s like &quot;Blah blah blah Obama doesn&#039;t understand the Bible, Leviticus and Deuteronomy aren&#039;t relevant any more.&quot;  But these are the same people that quote Leviticus when they say that gay sex is a sin.  Talk about a &quot;fruitcake&quot; interpretation: it&#039;s okay for Dobson and those like him to pick and choose what THEY want to recognize from the Bible, but not for Obama.  

The sole reason for this is to defame Obama&#039;s religious beliefs and make him a scapegoat.  They just want to put another religious right-winger in the White House.</description>

		<description>Not again!!!!

Add one more &quot;whacko&quot; Evangelical fool to the pile.

James Dobson deserves a place right up there with Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Ralph Reed, Falwell, Robertson, etc. etc. etc.

They are getting out of hand, just like any city with a nasty rodent problem.   Someone please call the exterminators!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a Catholic, but come one, we all know that Focus on the Family are nutters if they believe this country should make all laws in accordance with the Bible.
Which was what Obama was saying in a more diplomatic way. 
I don&#039;t care if Dobson feels he can discount the Old Testament, which he wouldn&#039;t, btw, if he had studied the Bible more closely, but that doesn&#039;t matter.  it still doesn&#039;t mean the New Testament should be the standard for legislation.
You do realize that when you support McCain, you support this lunacy, don&#039;t you?</description>
