There was an article published on the front page of yahoo.com today regarding the decline of James Dobson's influence on right wing evangelicals. Here is a quote:
"Dobson has only endorsed one presidential candidate in the past - George W. Bush in 2004, who ran unopposed for the G.O.P. nomination. And the Christian right's most powerful leader may not want to back a candidate so early in the game. Backing a losing horse could devalue the worth of any future Dobson anointment, especially when America is seeing the rise of a younger generation of less combative preachers like Rick Warren, Joel Osteen and Bill Hybels."
The reason for my choosing this quote has nothing to do with Dobson; rather, I though it interesting that Warren and Hybels are listed with Osteen as the up and coming leaders of Christianity, primarily becase of their non-combatitiveness...
That's not a good sign for Christianity in America....
