This is why many people are loosing respect for Christians and going to church. They feel they can't trust them and are no better than any sinner. Thank you for writing this letter.

I also have a child that has special needs. I was disgusted with Trump a LONG time ago, but when this tape came out and MANY Christians still stand with him. I'm at a lost for words. I'm ANGRY!!! This is why sexual abuse continues in our country. Its always swept under the rug by the ones that are so suppose to protect us. Again you took what I felt and put it in to words.

Is this...Thanks for posting: I have this to say...<br /><br />Is this the America we want? Where women exist only for men's perverted pleasure? In the name of God?<br /><br />Dr. Dobson's support of Donald Trump opens old wounds; specifically two sexual assaults against me by Christian men. I was 17 when Dr. Don Mattson molested me. He was at that time the Young Life leader at Scotsdale High in Scotsdale, AZ. I have to wonder how many other patients and teenage girls he assaulted before he died.<br /><br />The other was/is a high-profile editor in Christian and secular publishing--who, after pinning me against the wall when I tried to escape the room, promised me publication in national magazines, any publishing house I wanted, and that he would make me a speaker on the conference circuit if I would agree to sleep with him at all the events throughout the US. His wife, he said, had lupus. I somehow got through the door. The night was dark, with enough lighting for him to give chase. He jumped into my car before I could lock all the doors, and assaulted me again. <br /><br />When I told Christian leaders about this, I was shushed and told to keep my mouth shut. I know he has done to this many women, yet he continues to remain high profile.<br /><br />Dr. Dobson's support of the rape culture is disturbing on two levels: 1) women are half the human race and there is no reason violence and disrespect is our due; 2) he brings God into it--just as Dr. Mattson and D. H. did. <br /><br />Is this the America we want? Where women exist only for men's perverted pleasure? In the name of God?<br /><br />See "Let Me Speak: A protest to Donald Trump's "boys will be boys" defense" at BrendaWilbee.blogspot.comBrenda Wilbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889020141411978829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887530111818728008.post-63374177232386956142016-10-18T16:17:32.302-05:002016-10-18T16:17:32.302-05:00So in your sanctimonious diatribe against Trump ar...So in your sanctimonious diatribe against Trump are you advocating voting for a woman who is a pathological liar, responsible for lives being lost in Benghazi, covered up rapes and other sexual abuse by her husband, put our nation at risk by using unsecured email, deleting any incriminating emails, etc, etc... It's Christians like you that elected Obama. I didn't like McCain or Romney either but my vote was by default for them because primarily I was voting against Obama. Will you be able to look your children in the face after Hillary nominates and her lackeys in Congress confirm destructive justices to the Supreme Court? Will you applaud when she raises your taxes? It's time to wake up and get over what someone said 11 years ago! Listen when he owns his statements and apologizes for them.

(I hear it got posted to his page by several.) Of the 100,000 views this blog has had so far, the odds are good one of them is his. If it just gives him (and others like him) something to think about and pray about, and if he takes time to hear our feelings and possibly consider them valid, then I am satisfied. And please don't lose all respect for Dr. Dobson, I haven't. His stand on this issue could only hurt so many because he is respected, and has done so much good for us in the past.

Perhaps Roxanne has not been so wise or measured in confronting Dobson publicly, that's a separate debate. But on the topic of the character and values and track record of Trump? He is an unrepentant misoginist and predator indeed, despite his strategic courting of the Christian right.

Let me say, as a middle-age male, it also saddens me deeply to see men such as James Dobson commit sins of omission by not confronting sin. Instead, picking and choosing when to confront bad behavior based on if it will or will not align with political motivation. When Jesus said to watch out for those who dress as sheep but inwardly are ferocious wolves, as in Matt 7:15, it greatly saddens me to think or believe that Jesus may be referring to some I have respected or admired for years.
