I think James Dobson and Chuck Colson are great men, who've done great things. Some of the stuff I've read of theirs makes me a little uncomfortable lately. Not the why, I think their intentions are great. It's some of the how.
Mark Driscoll, Pastor of Mars Hill in Seattle, recently attended a lunch with Colson, where Colson shared his greatest concerns about the "culture war" being fought against Christianity:

1. The fight against radical Islam, including the war in Iraq, which Colson defends as a just war from a Christian perspective.
2. The fight against atheistic evolution, which reduces human dignity by denying that God made humanity in His image and likeness.
3. The growing secularization of the West as demonstrated by the “wardrobe malfunction” of Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Driscoll's blog entry describing the event asks some great questions in response to these three around a Christian's role in the culture:

• Is Christianity at war for culture?
• Is it beneficial for Christians to speak of themselves in military terms such as war when speaking of their engagement with lost people and their ideas?
• Does the concept of a culture war cause Christians to fight moral and political battles rather than gospel battles?
• Does the greatest threat to Christianity come from forces outside the church, or from inside the church, through leaders who are more like Judas than Jesus?
• Do Christians have the right to continually claim the moral high ground when they are statistically no more moral than the average pagan?
