Interpreting interpretations.

"I think he's deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view, his own confused theology," Dobson said, adding that Obama is "dragging biblical understanding through the gutter." (CNN)

Ah, I was expecting someone would step into the mess, but I thought it would be someone more radical. Not that Dobson is not a radical.

It is amazing how much the Religious Right want. Take this quote from Dobson: "Evangelicals are people who take Bible interpretation very seriously, and the sort of speech he gave shows that he is worlds away in the views of evangelicals."

Interpretations? If you are going to interpret the Bible, shouldn't you actually read and understand the whole book and not just selected sections or passages that say what you think they should say?

The Religious Right has been trying for years to dictate their view of morality on the population of the United States. And if Obama will not come out and say it, let me. The Emperor Has No Clothes. That goes for Mr. Dobson and the rest of those who follow his leanings.
