[On whether or not it should be illegal to pay for sex.]
Any sexual activity outside marriage is a very serious sin against oneself and against the true God. Prostitutes only encourage adultery and is a terrible example to our precious young ones. In Bible times, adultery was punishable by death. Make no mistake , God is coming with His reward for all according to our deeds. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Sex is a wonderful gift to us humans and the results of improper use are disease, heartbreak and unwanted pregnancy

God is coming...
I'm all out of tissues!
You forgot the part where you prove God exists. Oh, that's right.
In all seriousness, I agree with this woman, even though her arguments suck badly.
Make no mistake , God is coming with His reward for all according to our deeds.
What happened to salvation through faith?
There is no actual reason for prostitution to be illegal. Prostitutes will exist regardless if it is legal or not. Prostitutes that exist in systems where their job is LEGAL get treated better than prostitutes that don't. Of course, forget this, let's all just moralize.
What are the improper uses of sex? For power? Security? Safety? Money?
What are you talking about, Lucy dear?
All sex between consenting adults should be legal regardless of what is exchanged for it. Reasonable parental and societal attitudes, and high-quality sex-ed will prevent most diseases and unwanted pregancies. Bible quotations and the morals of thousands of years ago are what is causing the heartbreak.
"Sex is a wonderful gift to us humans and the results of improper use are disease, heartbreak and unwanted pregnancy"
also unwanted cuddling, spooning, endless talking, that awkward silence afterward.
In Bible times, adultery was punishable by death.
Except when it wasn't, cf. Joshua 2:1 and on, describing Rahab who was saved when the Israelites wiped out Jericho. Whyncha read your own fucking fairy tales?
Ken R., couldn't have said it better. Whether or not you agree with it morally, legalizing and therefore regulating prostitution can only help to reduce the diseases, abuse, and illegal human trafficking.
"the results of improper use are disease, heartbreak and unwanted pregnancy "
All things that can happen when you're married.
World's oldest profession...
Good luck at getting rid of it, your husband would use one at his first opportunity, if not already a regular. From your comment, I'm sure you are fun in bed!
Okay. Fine.
You want to believe that sex outside of marriage is a dirty, sinful thing because God said so, be my guest.
But the moment you start wanting to pass LAWS governing people's sex lives, you've stepped out of the arena of personal religious beliefs and into the zone of LEGISLATING MORALITY.
Your own George Bush Sr. once said "You can't legislate morality." Perhaps you should take his advice to heart.
If you don't like blasphemy, don't do it.
If you don't like prostitution, do don't buy any.
And if you don't like gay marriage, don't get one.
It's very simple.
So only married men are allowed to hire escorts? Lucy, you clearly can't grasp that sex is more useful then reproducing. It's not just humans, but other animals have sex or masturbate (Sperm Whales) for pleasure.
Blah blah, agree, sex is a good thing, disagree with serious sin if outside of marriage (seriously who cares?) shouldn't be taken lightly, some good points made for...well, not the best reasons. -.-;
Part of this argument is even agreeable: "Sex is a wonderful gift to us humans and the results of improper use are disease, heartbreak and unwanted pregnancy."
This much is true. The rest of it still earns a 5, however.
I think it would be fearful to fall into ANY giant,invisible man hands.And ,proper usage of sex,leads to good health,eternal love ,and 14 kids.All of whom,you want.Of course.
@ DarkfireTaimatsu: Now that fight, I would love to see.
These people can't live with others being safe, healthy, and happy. Not at all. Sad and sickening.
-In Bible times, adultery was punishable by death.-
In Bible times, prostitution was also legal, promoted, and even mentioned in the bible, and there was no mention of death as punishment for it.
Yet RAPE and GENOCIDE is aye okay. Your God encourages you to rape women Lucy Ingham and to Butcher people for not being Jewish...
Are you telling me you listen to a God that cares not about the basic moral dignity of a human? Allowing them to be raped just because they are not "one of his people"?
I may have to destroy your God should he exist...
And those men can't control their lusts not to set an example to those little young ones?. By the way, Ragah the prostitute who helped the Jews to conquer Jericoh was well alive and so were all the ones who were with Samsom. And my favourite, what happened to Mary Magdalene?. Maybe she was not a prostitute after all or..............
Psst, Lucy. The majority of people know how to use sex properly. These anally retentive religionists, on the other hand, do not even want to know.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
