Put Christ Back in Christbox
The latest salvo has been fired in the culture wars, this time by James Dobson. The founder and chairman of the board for Focus on the Family has announced the latest initiative set forth by his Christian based organization. On his daily radio talk show, Dobson encouraged his listeners to boycott the letter "X" until the American public "fully appreciates the power of the Christian community."
The controversy surrounds the unwillingness by Microsoft the replace the "X" on it's popular video game console Xbox with what Dobson believes should be "Christ". Dobson stated on his nationally syndicated radio program that, "everyone knows this is just another attack on the Christians of this land. If Microsoft will not put Christ back in Xbox, then we will have to take the X away from them!"
The plan calls for a national referendum on replacing the letter "X" with the word "Christ" with a potential Constitutional Amendment on the horizon. "Unless the good Christians of this land stand up for their rights, they will eventually erode away. We must take our stand on this issue now before the liberals destroy any more of our way of life" Dobson concluded on Thursday.
An expansion on the basic plan will call for the boycott of "eXtra" gum and "EXTRA", the entertainment TV program. Some are concerned with what this will mean in the long run. "When my kids wander into a "Christ, Christ, Christ" video store, they may be exposed to material that is less that Godly" stated Bill Parrish, head of Children First, a child advocacy program at the University of Notre Dame.
