Focus On The Family

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Focus on the Family is a *ahem* nonprofit evangelical Christian organization, run by James Dobson and based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It specializes in family issues approached from a fundamentalist standpoint, and strongly advocates captial corporal punishment for children. It's meddling attitude can be summed up by the bumper sticker "FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY!"

It is looked on with some disdain by commercial Christian publishing houses, as FotF is a highly profitable enterprise operating as a nonprofit. In addition, Dobson himself is quite politically active, something of a no-no for religious nonprofits.[1]
