focus on the family is far from fringe. their much much more mainstream than you would think. for many christians in this country, focus on the family is very important (tons of books, videos, etc. et.c).

focus on the family is run by james dobson, a christian minister. while i think i understand the group's basic premise (reorient to family being the number one priority and center), in practice it doesn't seem so... apparently he is very influential with the current regime, err, administration.

why people continue to harp on fantasy characters/cartoons that aren't even human is beyond me. you'd think they'd have a larger problem with snl's "ambiguously gay duo" than a sponge and his starfish friend and hamburger car, or a bunch of creatures with televisions in their abdomens.

to be a delusion, the belief would have to be false in the face of overwhelming evidence of invalidating truth!!! but there is no overwhelming evidence of that truth...

i do get your point though.
