A friend’s priest had this to say, on the passing of James Dobson:
“On behalf of “strong-willed children” everywhere: There is no one I credit more for all my emotional and spiritual trauma than James Dobson.
I believe he is now fully in the presence of the radical love of God he so consistently preached against. My hope is that in the fullness of time he will be reconciled to that love.
In the meantime, sucks to be him.”
Imagine the torment it must be, to go your whole life believing in a God of hatred and exclusion, only to discover upon your death that your God is actually a god of love.
If hell is the absence of God? And this man is now feeling that absence, because God does not condone violence towards young children, the way Dobson does (well, did)? Then Dobson is in hell.
Good.
