If they'd been courteous enough to provide a *transcript*,
which I can go through much faster, I would have read it;
but I'm not about to waste the quantity of time that would
be required to listen to Dobson's pontificating.  There are
still people who *read* in this country; I guess FOTF's
refusal to accommodate us is symptomatic of the
anti-intellectualism of America in general and most
of American Christianity in particular.  (If there actually
is a transcript on that website, it can't be readily
located from the page for which the original poster
provided the link.)

My comment is the same as I always make to those
self-styled Christians who spend so much energy
gay-ba****ng:  Why not focus on the *real* besetting
sin of America -- GREED?  Why not denounce the
fact that a good many Christians (including the
President and the right-wingers who controlled
Congress for a long time) apparently believe that
you *can* serve God and Mammon (an error that,
I believe, goes back to Calvin)?  Why do I, the
Apostate Prophet, seem to be the only one
pointing this out?
