The world is better without James Dobson in it.
He helped foment the militant brand of Christian nationalism presently imperiling our republic, and countless children suffered dearly because of his parenting advice.
He helped turn evangelicals away from Christian love and toward harsh judgement, resentment, paranoia, will-to-power, and full-bore hatred.
Many wounded adults raised according to his books will breathe a sigh of relief upon his passing.
