News flash! The divorce rate in the U.S. is actually higher by a small margin among born-again Christians than for those who profess no faith at all.

I am not making this up. It didn't come from a dreaded "liberal source." It came straight from the mouth of the reactionary, moralizing Dr. James Dobson.

How could this happen? How could the American-familes-are-being-destroyed-by-liberals-Jesus-loves-me-and-hates-you crowd have so many marital problems? Let me guess: The women are fed up with being treated as inferior to men? The wall of ignorance that shuts out the world increases the family's stress? The "discipline" used on the children causes them to act out even more and escalates family dysfunction?

Or is it just the drinking, drugging, gambling, pornography and adultery that sometimes leaks out of a very repressed, addictive personality?

These are the same people, mind you, who rail against single-parent families, families with gay parents and families in which both parents work outside of the home. These are the people who do not believe in the husband and wife being equal partners. Marriage, they will tell you, is a sacred institution.

But, it turns out, maybe not.
