"According to research by Patrick F. Fagan, senior fellow and director of the conservative Center for Research on Marriage and Religion, pornography is a "quiet family killer." No only does watching porn contribute to infidelity, but a spouse's porn obsession was a factor in 56 percent of divorces, Fagan says."
Logic has always been the religionist's Achilles heal, and that's perfectly represented here. This "senior fellow" does not hesitate to assume causation where there is obviously only correlation. Might the explanation be that lack of sexual attraction to their spouse is the unmentioned cause of all these? After all, if someone no longer is sexually attracted to their spouse then wouldn't we expect them to A. watch more porn B. cheat, and C. get divorced? Assuming that A. causes B. and C. is just as logically unsound as assuming that cheating causes people to watch porn or that getting divorced causes people to cheat! How about this statistic: most divorced people believe in god. I guess belief in god causes divorce ... and "porn obsession."
