Dobson Attack Obama's Positions

James Dobson from Focus on the Familysays that Obama distorted the Bible and pushed a "fruitcake interpretation" of the Constitution. A shorter version is here.

Obama responded.

In his program, Dobson focused on examples Obama cited in asking which
Biblical passages should guide public policy. For instance, Obama said Leviticus
suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination. Obama also cited
Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful
that our own Defense Department would survive its application.”

“Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles,” Obama said in the speech.

“I think he’s deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of
the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology,” Dobson
said.

I think Dobson makes a fair point because what Obama says is a common misunderstanding of the purposes of the different laws in the Bible. During the OT times, Israel was under a Theocracy. The same was not happening after Christ came. That is the short explanation. Others, I am sure have expanded more.
