In July 2007 , following widespread storms over parts of the United Kingdom , Dow stated that he believed the resulting flooding ( in which several people were killed ) was an act of divine retribution , the result of God 's " strong and definite judgement " on the " moral degradation " of British society . In particular , he blamed the economic exploitation of poorer nations and the United Kingdom 's introduction of laws aimed at reducing discrimination against gay people , notably the proposals to introduce same-sex marriage . He stated that “ the Sexual Orientation Regulations are part of a general scene of permissiveness . We are in a situation where we are liable for God ’s judgement . ” According to an article in '' The Times '' , Dow is a specialist in exorcism , explaining in a leaflet entitled '' Explaining Deliverance '' that “ There is a view that both oral and anal sexual practice is liable to allow entry to spirits . ” Dow is married to Molly and they have four adult children
