Heretic in the House

Saturday, October 25th, 2003 Posted in Politics | 7 Comments »

I don’t exactly get along with James Dobson and Focus on the Family. For the record, our worldviews are fundamentally opposed. At least that’s what they told me. I dared to suggest there might be a logical endpoint for the ...
