The World Has Become a Better Place

And Hell has become a worse place, because Christofascist bitot James Dobson has died at age 89.

I'm sure that the neighborhood associations in Hell (Of course Hell has neighborhood associations) are trying to figure out a way to exclude him.

James Dobson, the founder of the Christian anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups Focus on the Family (FOF) and the Family Research Council (FRC), has died at the age of 89. Hailed as one of “the most influential evangelical leader[s] in America,” he considered same-sex marriage worse than terrorism and encouraged men to murder trans women.

Born in 1936 to a fundamentalist minister father in Shreveport, Louisiana, Dobson graduated with a doctoral degree in psychology from the University of Southern California in 1967, and gained notoriety in 1970 by writing Dare to Discipline, a book that urged parents to use corporeal punishment to “break the will” of their children; his book also encouraged parents to hit their kids more if they cried for longer than five minutes after their initial beating.

I know that it sounds trite, but there must be something behind that much projection.

FWIW, if there is a Hell, it existence or absence is not significant in normative Judaism, I do not think that Dobson is there.

If there is a Hell, then his soul was simply obliterated.
