[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 73459045, member: 167101"] How do you figure? Do you think she's right that legalization of prostitution would reduce disease and rape crimes? I guess her suggestion would be one form of "applied mercy" to the complicated situation which involved all three individuals in the video, wouldn't it? The only thing is we'd still have the Biblical writers telling us what they've told us. So, somewhere in dealing with this kind of sticky-wicky social and moral situation, we'd have to decide to deal with the Bible and with Christian theology, or maybe even with various types of ethical claims that emanate from various ethical systems of thought, many of which are not even directly related to Christianity. [COLOR=#ff0000]On top of all of this........................children were placed at risk by all 3 individuals involved in the video, and somehow I don't think legalization of prostitution will protect children the way they should be protected, as in their being [I]completely and utterly protected[/I].[/COLOR] If I remember right, the preacher in the video already had a history of buying 'videos,' or something to that effect. I guess having access to inappropriate contentography wasn't enough for him, but I don't know all that much about him other than what I saw in the new 30 years ago. I don't know the guy or his overall history, so I can't say. But I will say that I think it would be much preferable if society simply got rid of all of the smut and other forms of Raunch Culture as best that it can, and that it would also likely be beneficial if it changed its laws to actually encourage and assist people to live morally clean lives [in a Christian sense!

To me, 'regulation' seems to be more or less a legal weasel word of sorts, one befitting Secular Humanism rather than Christianity and Christ-like virtue. Anyway, I'm all for attempting to empathize with each of the three individuals in the video. I just don't think empathizing, or even being merciful, includes condoning their behaviors, let alone 'legalizing' prostitution ..................o_O [/QUOTE]
