What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women: While my marriage comments are inclusive of fundamentalism as a whole, Dobson is typically conservative and arrogant about what women want (all of them, mind you, not just some). He holds a pretty traditional view on women and marriage. Submission means something different to just about everyone, [...]

Dare to Discipline: This gets a little confusing. On one hand, Dobson gives tons of ammunition to parents who believe in spanking. On the other hand, he does speak out against abuse. Anyone who has ever abused a child — or has ever felt himself losing control during a spanking — should not expose the [...]

I have talked a bit before on how Focus on the Family is deceptive, etc, but it came up on Jen’s blog comments yesterday, when I about went psycho (sorry, Jen). I love Jen’s blog, and have been reading her since long before Boobquake. However, I think I found the article kind of triggering after [...]

In celebration of Dr. Dobson’s resignation from the board of executives of FotF, I thought I would say something nice about the man. Dr. Dobson, I must thank you for one thing: Without your materials on harsh discipline, conservative politics, and twisted theology and studies, I would have never become an atheist!

This is the final post in a four part series on the problems I have with FOTF. The first post can be found here, the second here, and third here. 5. I don’t appreciate his fear-mongering tactics. His Letter from a Christian in 2012 is a prime example of that–taking Obama’s ideas to an extreme, [...]

Click here for part one of this post, and here for part two. 4. The amount of pride and judgment shown by FOTF is not reflective of the humility taught by Christ. You would think that the failure of Mike Huckabee to become the Republican nominee would show FOTF and the moral “majority” that their [...]

This post is a continuation of a previous post. It is part two of a three or four part series on why I don’t like Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family. 2. Dr. Dobson’s views on discipline do not reflect those of a person with training in child development. Eighteen months is the [...]

Many people know I am not a huge Dobson fan. I used to be, but saw through his tactics and fear-mongering when I went to college (note: this is the conservative Christian college I attended, not a secular or liberal school hellbent on proving his ideas wrong). Even while still a moderately conservative Christian, he [...]

My Dear Fellow Atheists, After Sarah Palin won the election in 2012, there have been quite a lot of changes! I can no longer proclaim my atheism without being attacked by the mob, for Sarah Palin has mandated that, as we are a Christian nation, it is time we all start going to church every [...]

After reading Dobson’s Letter from a Christian in 2012, I wrote an email to him. Not because I thought it would do any good, but because I wanted to be one of many. I received a response from him a few days ago. It is rather long and a good chunk of it is irrelevent [...]
