Not the way I read it. MARRIAGE is RELUCTANTLY supported. Remember Paul's "It's better to remain single but, well, if you must, it's better to marry than to burn". There's also the Commandment (I forget the number) "Though shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife." How am I to keep myself from covetting? The topper is Jesus' "Anyone who looks upon a woman with lust in his heart is just as bad as an adulterer ... If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out!" You not only can't fornicate, you can't even WANT to. How inhuman! -- ....tektronix!uw-beaver!teltone!mark
