  2. #FocusOnTheFamily was a constant part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Part of the atmospheric brainwashing that told my mother to be happy making Motherhood her entire identity, that sin not illness was the cause of her #depression and that all the problems of her children were her fault. I was thinking about this - FotF - this week, didn’t realize #JamesDobson died. Delayed karmic retribution for all mothers fed his BS. I hope he’s getting drop-kicked in the nuts, wherever he is now.

  3. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!! #JamesDobson, influential founder of conservative Christian group #FocusOnTheFamily, has died

    "Dr. James Dobson, a politically influential child psychologist who started a radio show counseling Christians on how to be good parents, founded the conservative ministry Focus on the Family and was long a campaigner against #abortion and #LGBTQ+ rights, died on Thursday. He was 89.

    "His death was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

    "Dobson started Focus on the Family in 1977, which had more than 1,000 employees at its peak and gave him a platform to weigh in on legislation, advise White House panels and advocate against laws to ban #ConversionTherapy to 'cure' gay people.

    "He became a force in the 1980s for pushing conservative Christian ideals in American politics alongside fundamentalist giants like #JerryFalwell and #PatRobertson. He campaigned for bringing religious conservatives into the political mainstream, and in 1989, Falwell called Dobson a rising star. Decades later, he served on President #DonaldTrump ’s Evangelical Executive Advisory Board."

    ...mit Führern großer religiöser rechter Gruppen, die eng mit #Trump verbunden sind, teilnehmen werden, darunter #AllianceDefendingFreedom, #FocusOnTheFamily und #FamilyResearchCouncil.

    Hinzu kommen Vertreter prominenter #Klimaleugner-Organisationen wie der #CO2Coalition, libertäre Denkfabriken wie das #CatoInstitute, rechtsgerichtete Silicon-Valley-Persönlichkeiten wie #Palantir-Gründer #PeterThiel und einwanderungsfeindliche...

  5. And there's a reason white evangelical Christians, who form the bulk of Trump's base, and their right-wing pressure organizations like Focus on the Family, praise Tucker Carlson when Carlson praises Putin and Russia.

    There's a reason Trump's white Christian nationalist base want to pretend that Carlson and Trump (and Putin) are exemplary Christians when they are clearly not.

  11. BONUS #2:

    the minute the illegitimate Roberts Supreme Court (neither Kavanaugh nor Barret should be on the judicial bench AT ALL) struck down Roe v Wade, i knew which was the fascists' #FocusOnTheFamily next target

    from 2:38 PM · Sep 26, 2020:

    "DOMINIONISTS, from both evangelical & catholic cults, have been peddling “parental rights” in the same exact way neoconfederates wank about “state rights”.

    satisfied with their destruction of abortion rights, their new target is TRANSGENDERISM

  12. Despite claiming that it opposes #conversiontherapy, #FocusOnTheFamily is an international leader of efforts to impose conversion therapy through harsh laws and through relentless harassment of families by their churches.

  13. What #FocusOnTheFamily does is worse than #conversiontherapy.

    It uses relentless shame and blame to silence gay and lesbian people; make them deny their orientation; and make them live their lives alone without companionship.

  14. It's really amazing how so many grifters sell both the problem and the solution.

    Consider #FocusOnTheFamily. They advised that you beat your children, treat them as if they're not people but inmates in your home, among a truly spectacular smorgasbord of other toxic dogma.

    Now they're trying to sell you ways to guilt and manipulate your adult children, who you BEAT, into giving you the attention you feel you deserve.

    It's truly an astounding racket.

  15. It turns out, Glenn Branch of the NCSE spent some time in 2014 hunting down the sources of this claim. It is a fascinating read, but it may suffice to say that the 51 facts are just another lie spread by incurious anti-science crusaders.

    Branch’s article:
    ncse.ngo/eighty-plus-theories-

    #science #creationism #christianity #flood #geology #pseudoscience #FocusOnTheFamily

  16. There is claim that repeatedly pops up in #creationist writing about how the “French Academy of Science” in 1861 published a list of 51 scientific facts that disproved the Bible. The claim continues that all 51 of those facts have now been debunked. This claim never includes any citation or list of what those 51 facts supposedly were.

    The most recent creationist to make this claim is Paul Batura at #FocusOnTheFamily, as reported by the Sensuous Curmudgeon (sensuouscurmudgeon.wordpress.c).

  17. CW: You should never vandalize property, but... - Friendly Atheist

    The vandals who targeted Focus on the Family had a point. They spray painted the words, "Their blood is on your hands. Five lives taken.", in reference to the Club Q mass shooting. It may have felt good to do, but was it a strategically wise move?

  18. CW: CW: Club Q Mass Shooting

    Organizations like lobby for + people to be legally marginalized and discriminated against, usually with excuses like "religious freedom" and "protecting children".

    Focus on the Family had its headquarters vandalized with this message after the shooting in .

    Not my photo. I'm posting it here because it's important for people to see.

    Down with hate.
