<DIV><FONT size=4>Since, according to J Ford, the Cult Master himself released
the unfortunate details about Gregor Dickison's marriages [old and pending], it
is instructive to look at Gregor's own thoughts about the sanctity of
marriage.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>"<FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Marriage is ordained by God, not man, and we
are not free to tinker with its creation or dissolution in an effort to modify
it to fit our arbitrary standards of what a marriage should be.</STRONG></FONT>
It is not primarily a loving, caring and nurturing relationship which can be had
by pairings other than husband and wife, nor is it a haven for family values. It
is fundamentally a picture of Christ's relationship to and interaction with His
Church (Eph. 5:22-32). While that marriage can never be dissolved because its
head is perfect, divorce is allowed among men because of our hardness of heart
(Mark 10:2-9)."</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>"Of course no-fault divorce laws should be repealed and repented of. When
the marriage covenant is broken, it is a recognition that <FONT
color=#ff0000><STRONG>one of the spouses has committed grievous
sin</STRONG></FONT>. Someone really incurs moral blame. The civil magistrate, as
God's minister, has a duty to require that people honor the marriage covenant as
God ordained it." </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I hope that Gregor treats his pets better than he treats his
spouses.</FONT></DIV>
