RIP James Dobson

[Votto]

Yeah, ive literally never heard of him either. Apparently he was a spiritual advisor to a bunch of presidents.

And that is a good sign

Any time Legacy media ignores you, that is a good sign you are probably a good person that challenges their corrupt world.

And is that good for society?

Loneliness is a pandemic in society today, and at the same time when science is discovering just how detrimental loneliness is to our health. I have seen some say that it is worse than smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.

Then there are the emotional and psychological tolls, with mental illness also being a pandemic today.

It used to be that people would marry at 15, and now it is like age 35. Is that "good" for society?

But those in government have to see this, and more than likely promoting it. Why? It probably has to do with their conviction that population levels need to be reduced in order to "save the planet". So, they promote a kinder and gentler type of genocide, in the form of such policies as abortion, birth control, sex changes, and lifestyles that promote an early demise with crime that is rampant.

Yea, that would help reduce population levels, and it is.

Birth control is a choice women have. Contraception is neither immoral or detrimental. Its a way of avoiding an unwanted pregnancy. Millions of traditionally married women use it to avoid getting pregnant.

As far as lo liness, thats a choice. Nobody is stopping anyone from pursuing what they want.

I am not implying that all birth control is bad or even all abortion is bad. For example, an ectopic pregnancy simply is doomed and unless it is surgically corrected the woman dies.

But there is a difference between that mind set and blindly promoting all abortion all the time as well as contraception.

What we have now is a government that will fund any abortion or sex change for any amount of money and probably contraception too, but that cardiac bypass you need may be too expensive for you to afford.

As soon as they hit puberty, yes.

The parts all work as they should.

People simply did not live as long and had to have kids earlier or not have any at all.

Your reaction is simply based on societal norms.

I am all for promoting contraception alot lot more than we currently do. Want to get rid of abortion then promote contraception. Imagine double the number of people using it. The number of younger men getting vasectomies is on the rise. They dont want kids and are at least being responsible about it.

Well marriage rates are declining as well. More young people are holding off until later in life to get married, if they do at all. Half of all marriages will not make it. There is no stopping this. If i were a 25 year old today id work work work and save save save. No dating, no social fun stuff. Maybe marry at 38 to another stable lady who has done the same. This is the new america.

If you were 25 today, you would be about 65 years younger than you are now. Irrelevant BS! It was a different world.

Almost every one of my aunts on both sides of the family married in their late teens. The age of 15 is not normal, but I did have a couple of cousins who got pregnant in high school and got married, one of which I know was 15 at the time.

 

[Darkwind]

Not soon enough.

Now, if he can take a bunch of other sanctimonious assholes with him.

You first.

 

[TimFitz]

Um, yeah, because we need to use mythology to justify homophobia.

Again, another sanctimonious asshole who probably just found out there is no afterlife.

Or he stood at the pearly gates over the trap door!

Passed away at the age of 89.

Heard of him. Not all that familiar with him. Apparently he sent the looney left into orbit which is fine. Though I am religious I did not pay too much attention to tv preachers.

 

[LibertyKid]

I don’t regard TV preachers as religious leaders.

They’re hucksters.

Dobson shouldn't be tossed into the same bunch as the TBN, Daystar, Mega Church, fraudsters. He actually appeared to be a very decent human being.

Wow. Interesting. I never so much as let any of my 3 kids even date while in high school. No prom, no dances, etc.

Indeed, those sanctimonious Democrats should all go with him....

I am all for promoting contraception alot lot more than we currently do.

Many contraceptives are abortifacients.

But even if they were not, artificial birth control and even the natural method, when used to limit or eliminate births is a mortal sin according to the ORIGINAL Church

If people don't want children, they should not marry. Sometimes when people are in love, they think they just have to marry that person, but is that true?

No, it isn't. They can remain friends, and if they do, their relationship would likely last for a lifetime, whereas with marriage....

probably not

He wasn't in Christ's true Church so God knows where he is now

If people dont want childten they should not marry? Thats sick and twisted.

No, people who disagree with Christ's Church are sick and twisted

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

When 30 was the same as 80 is today, you don't have much time.
