(11,963 posts)Not only was he a horrible homophobe and hell fire and brimstone advocate. He believed in beating little children and small dogs with belts and god knows what else. And he wrote books instructing others to do the same.
"In a follow-up book, The Strong-Willed Child, which also advocated beating the hell out of the brats, Dobson stated about how long the beating should go on: Yes, I believe there should be a limit. As long as the tears represent a genuine release of emotion, they should be permitted to fall. But crying quickly changes from inner sobbing to an expression of protest. [
] Real crying usually lasts two minutes or less but may continue for five. After that point, the child is merely complaining, and the change can be recognized in the tone and intensity of his voice. I would require him to stop the protest crying, usually by offering him a little more of whatever caused the original tears. Ah yes, keep hitting the child until their will gives up. What can go wrong?
And it wasnt just kids that he urged hitting. It was also the family dog! What is it with right wingers and abusing dogs? He described his dachshund named Sigmund Freud not wanting to go into its enclosure. So he got the belt. Heres the relevant passage in The Strong-Willed Child: I had seen this defiant mood before and knew there was only one way to deal with it. The only way to make Siggie obey is to threaten him with destruction. Nothing else works. I turned and went to my closet and got a small belt to help me reason with Mr. Freud. [
] I hit him again and he tried to bite me . . . That tiny dog and I had the most vicious fight ever staged between man and beast. I fought him up one wall and down the other, with both of us scratching and clawing and growling and swinging the belt.
A dachshund is a small dog and has a strong temperament because they were bred to hunt badgers.

(172 posts)I was reminded that all our good Xtian wingers have at hand the story of Jesus declaring the appropriate punishment for false (therefore evil) teachers. Tie a mill stone around their neck and throw them in the sea.
Not the blood and gore of the infamous guillotine but I could gladly list enough pseudo righteous politicians to at least clog up an Olympic size pool.

(70,669 posts)How else to explain his bizarre and revolting "gay preventive" he related to fathers in one of his vile books. Paraphrase: "The best way to ensure that your little boy won't grow up to a be hommasexshul is to take a shower with him. That way, he can see that Daddy has a penis, and he has a penis, and that means he won't become a hommasexshul."
The world is a slightly better place without this squalid monster.

(149,681 posts)There's no point to it. They're dead. They have ceased to exist, so nothing can affect them any longer. They no longer have any relevance.
No doubt Dobson thought he'd be sitting on the right side of Jesus after he died. He's not doing that, either. Dobson does not exist ay longer in any form whatsoever. He is simply gone.

(7,978 posts)People still have this idea of an afterlife where departed souls get whatever it is they deserve even though many here are just doing so and waxing metaphorically.

(113,863 posts)and likely won' tunderstand the power the changing of the millennial prefix had on a certain type of Christian. Future generations might also be wise enough to see Revelations, the only book that movement ever bothered with, as a blueprint for the eventual destruction of Nero's Rome.
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here" pretty much sums up the Age of the Fundagelical, those woman hating, homophobic, rigidly hierarchical and dictatorial men who were the perfect setup to the nut job currently occupying the White House.
So Dobson is finally dead. Let;s hope he stays that way. Amen.

(113,863 posts)but it's not going to be at the same intensity it was before the calendar changed. We're on the down slope now, the scions of the toothy televangelist just not being up to the job since they lack the old man's charisma.
The good thing about political cults of personality is the mortality of their leaders, also. Once Fearless Leader gets old, sick, and weak, people tend to drift away. If he's killed off by an ambitious sycophant, that sycophant usually finds himself at the wrong end of a firing squad, but that's just for old time's sake, political cultists actively searching for Fearless Leader's replacement, anyway.
We're still on the flip side of all of this shit because once again, we have survived the change of a calendar prefix.While cults of personality will still arise when some charismatic goofball appears and uses his boundless optimism to sucker the gullible. However, the standards will be higher and the free floating anxiety will be lessened and fewer of them will succeed.

(1,103 posts)Military family in Germany 1985-1988. AFN was the only English radio in town other than Canadian Broadcasting for the Canadian groups also stationed there. CBN had much more interesting programing. Obviously pre-internet days. Dobsons program was horrible - basically beat your child if he/she misbehaves. And wives - you must submit to your husband. Domestic abuse was rampant in the military community. FOTF also provided really sappy childrens programming. Bleh! However both were well received throughout the church going military community. I thought even then it was a weird program to have as part of the stations broadcast. This was a government provided station - dont remember any other religious programming. A few years later Rush Limbaugh was added to the program line up.

New King James Version
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Instructions for beating children and small dogs---- sounds like 'bad fruit' to me

(96 posts)I never met my father in law but heard he left ministering because he couldn't tolerate the hypocrisy. I recall story of my mother in law sharing how they were planning/ organizing this take over of our country and government for years, presumably at the churches. That's all I know. She was still devoted to God for all of her life, just not the version she was raised with. She cared more about all people including the rights of women and the welfare of the planet than most religions, and presumably that religion seem to.

What's the worst thing you can imagine happening to you, because that's what's going to happen for all of eternity.
Oh man, I'm an atheist but I could get used to this. No wonder they like to use the Bible to scare people into submission.
All of this is said with humor.
