Dobson out...

While reading my news today, I ran across the article that explains that Dr. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family is stepping down his board position. He will remain the spokesman for his causes, but no longer remain on the board. Now, that's not really news to most of the world, and not my point at all in publishing this non news. But in the comments section of the article, there was one that I must share... as I couldn't have said it better myself. About Dobson specifically, as well as about all who go to extremes on anything. It follows:
_______________________________

Once a LONG time ago, I once admired Jim Dobson. His advice on raising children was sage.

BUT…… something happened to James Dobson, he went OFF the DEEP END of EXTREMISM. Whenever people become EXTREMISTS, whether they'd be from the LEFT OR RIGHT….. you become irrelevant! You become "noise" ….. and in some cases, like in Dobson's …. hateful. Any extreme view denies the possibility of MIDDLE GROUND. For life is not …… always black & white!

Sadly, Dobson became a hater, while STILL claiming to be Christian! As a Christian, who knows well what JESUS asked of us, I am disturbed by Dobson's rhetoric, his hate for anyone who is different from him.

DR. DOBSON, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND PEACE……. THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER IN YOUR OLD AGE, THAT WE HAVE A ………LOVING GOD…… WHO ASKS US ALL TO LOVE ……….. AND LEAVE THE JUDGING UP TO ….HIM!
