Survey Results that Bob can be Proud Of

It turns out that Coral Ridge Ministries performed a survey of its members. One of the questions was, "how dangerous are the following to the spiritual health of America?" The results won't be shocking to Bob Dutko listeners, as these are all the things that he rails against on a daily basis.

How dangerous are the following to the spiritual health of America?

	Very	Somewhat	Not very
The ACLU and similar groups	96	3	1
Pro-homosexual indoctrination	95	4	1
Abortion	93	6	1
Islamic terrorism	91	8	1
Hollywood	89	10	1
News Media	87	12	1
Darwinism/evolution	85	14	1
Cults and false religion	82	16	2
Atheism	82	16	2
Courts	81	18	1
Apathetic/uninformed Christians	79	20	1
Colleges and Universities	78	21	1
Public education (K-12)	69	29	2
Congress	63	35	2

These are the result of preaching fear. Can someone explain to me how the ACLU or other civil liberties groups are "dangerous to the spiritual health of America?"

Has the ACLU ever attempted to suppress the rights of Churches to preach to its members?

Of course not.

And exactly what is "pro-homosexual indoctrination?" I've been around for 30 some years now and have never had a "pro-homosexual" attempt to "indoctrinate" me.

Aaaargh!

Guest Hosts

Has Bob used a guest host before? I haven't heard Bob using a guest host before this week. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Bobbo on Science: The Wonders of Ignorance!

Hey Bobbo,

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I haven't been able to listen to your show for quite some time, but today I made time. I know you've missed me, because of all the plaintive e-mail you've sent, asking me if I'm okay. Your caring is touching. It's very Christian of you.

Anyway, in listening to todays show, I heard you explain that because the story of Genesis lists the order in which God created the objects in the universe, that theistic evolution is wrong. You also said that science and the book of Genesis are compatible.

Um, what?

Here's the thing Bobbo: Science doesn't care what the Bible says about creation. Mainly because the Bible is not, and never was, a treatise on science.

But I understand why you think they're compatible. You don't understand science!

It's strange, Bobbo. In all your blathering about science I've never heard you once explain the scientific method!

And you know something? I don't think you can. So here's my challenge to you Bobbo: Explain, in detail, the scientific method. And once you've expounded on the step-by-step process that is the scientific method, explain your design for a scientific experiment that demonstrates the existence of God.

I bet you can't.

Your in Dawkins,

Irl

Former Pastor

Last week, while arguing with a caller, Bob stated that Rev. Jeremiah Wright should not be referred to as the "former" pastor of Sen. Barack Obama.

As usual, this is wrong and an outright lie.

First of all, go ahead and Google "former pastor." You'll get hundreds if not thousands of news stories which all use the term "former pastor" to describe Rev. Wright. Here's one that states that "Obama, 46, has split with his former pastor, denouncing Wright's comments..." Seems pretty clear to me. Obama no longer considers Wright his pastor and is therefore is his former pastor.

But wait! You might point out that Obama still goes to that church, Trinity UCC, where Wright was the pastor. That may be true (although I doubt while being in Washington, D.C. and on the campaign trail, Obama gets back to Trinity a lot). Regardless, Wright is no longer the Pastor at Trinity. He retired earlier this year and gave his last sermon on February.

So exactly where does Bob get off saying that Wright is not Obama's former pastor? Is there some special, secret ritual that Obama must perform for Wright to be granted former pastor status?

Bob just refuses to let go of this "issue" (even though he said he'd be happy to do so weeks ago). Bob wants to firmly affix Wright to Obama in order to provide guilt by association. But people aren't buying this nonsense anymore. A man is not judged by the words of his pastor. He is judged by his own words and his own actions.

Guest Lies about Obama; Bob Agrees

Another day in Dutko land!

Bob had some anti-choice person on who threw out this whopper about Barack Obama:

"A couple of weeks ago, he [Obama] made the comment about those that are 'weak' and 'need religion.'"

Bob agreed along quietly, muttering, "oh, right."

Not true! Barack Obama made no such comment! It's another lie on top of the of the other lies, served up fresh by Bob every day!

Who could believe this statement, anyway?

Obama is a Christian who attends church on a regular basis. In his speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he specifically mentioned worshiping an "awesome God." In fact, between him, Clinton, and McCain, I would argue that Obama is the most religious of the three! Why would Obama characterize religious people as "weak," when he himself is religious?!

The stupid burns.
