Dobson is pissed at Obama

[Betsy]

Reknowned pastor James Dobson thinks Obama has distorted the Bible with the following statements:

"Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?" Obama said. "Would we go with James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?" referring to the civil rights leader.

Dobson took aim at examples Obama cited in asking which Biblical passages should guide public policy — chapters like Leviticus, which Obama said suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination, or Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, "a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application."

"Folks haven't been reading their Bibles," Obama said.

Poor Dodson. He had to write his own Bible so it could say what he wanted it to say. The "official" one (which official one) unfortunately bears Obama out.

DAR
The Daily Show had a great bit on this. They played Dobson saying Obama shouldn't be referring to Leviticus because Christian theology doesn't do that. He called it confused theology. Then they played a clip from Larry King with Dobson appealing to Leviticus to condemn gays. It's okay to appeal to ancient Jewish theology when your intent is to use it to bash gays. A wonderful moment of blatant hypocrisy.
