You mean like bearing false witness against thy neighbor? Or is that (as MobBoss attests) only relevant to statements made under oath?

No wonder that Justice Department lawyer who went to Pat Robertson's law school is pleading the 5th - it's obviously what Jesus would do.

Dobson said, "I don't think..." and "that's my impression." Hardly an absolute statement. Is the 11th commandment "Thou shalt not muse."?
But given that Thompson is running on a family values platform under the Republican banner, isn't the "I don't think" and "that's my impression" false since Dobson, being politically aware knows that most Republicans running under a family value platform is likely to be a professed Christian? How can he not think Thompson is a Christian or be under the impression tyhat he is not? It is just laughable to think that Dobson is doing anything other than falsely bashing a guy that isn't his horse in the race.

So because many Republicans are Christians, we should assume that all are?
No, because most candidates for the GOP nomination are professed Christians, it is a big stretch to believe Dobson was doing anything other than dishonestly bashing Thiompson.
Amazing how they'll twist and turn for this guy.
@ colontos:
I don't think colontos is a sane person; at least that's my impression.
Please take no offense, just musing.

Currently Thompson isnt running at all. Perhaps thats your first mistake?
Perhaps because Thompson hasnt previously commented on it one way or the other? Most christians profess their faith openly, and are encouraged to do so.
Again, an athiest basically saying that a christian cant have an opinion because having one is 'bashing' someone. Please.
And again....Thompson is currently no ones horse in the race.

Sorry, but I do take offense. Is your only debate tactic to call people who disagree with you, insane?
reported.
It wasn't a debate tactic, it was a parody of your argument.
Thompson is contemplating a run. Dobson isn't mentioning him at random.
Most former Republican Senators are on the record about their faith and none have professed to be atheists. There may be a few Jews, but the overwhelming majority profess themselves as Christians.
A man like Dobson, who doesn't give me the impression of being a Christian, can have an opinion, whether he is actually Christian or not. When that opinion comes across as bashing someone, then he can expect to get called out for it.
He is seen by many Republicans as someone who can get the nomination over the liberal 3 Republican frontrunners if he chooses to run. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal did an article featuring Thompson's "Tennessee Mafia" connections (sort of like Bush's Texas mafia, except with substance). He is a horse many are hoping and expecting will get in the race. Same with Dobson's boy, "Serve-divorce-papers-at-the-hospital" Gingrich.

Man, Knowltok's point went so high over your head, it left a vapor trail.
Correct me if I am wrong, but such user-specific posts, even in parody, are against the TOS/forum rules?
If he wants to parody, then by all means leave out specific posters here. We dont need the flames.
He wasn't calling the poster insane. He was just giving his impression.
You might want to change some of your analogies in another thread today where you have me holing up against the cops, Rambo style to protect my drug stash.

Ah...thats not my doing...thats you overstating your ability by several magnitudes.
The original analogy was yours. The person you put in as the drug hiding criminal was me.
Seriously?
And I didn't call you insane. I was just saying, as was Mr. Dobson, that I have no idea as to your sanity.
