A commentator on James Dobson, Focus on the Family:

“however, as I read about his implicit desire to blur the line between church and state, I am struck with the futility of the church pretending to be a dominant voice in culture. Dobson represents those who would assert that the church ought to just dig in the trenches and prepare for battle against the onslaught of rampant immorality- as if it were approaching in some tsunami-scale wave of secular culture. well, news flash, Mr. Dobson: the church was marginalized decades ago and we're living in the aftermath of a slow erosion over years and years of hollow religiosity that failed to transform the dominant culture. we're the washed-up prize fighter trying to relive our glory days by talking big, but no one's listening. to pretend we're still in a place to make the rules is just absurd. even more so than a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea.”
