The Ten Commandments suggest adultry is worse. The criminal justice system says prostitution is.
Which one is worse?
Which one is worse?
Adultry leads to broken families.Calvin said:While I don't think either is inherentely bad, the prostituation business, as it is, leads to a lot of exploitation and abuse, so I'm gonna go with that one. Adultery leads to hurt feelings.
It can also lead to true love. If we made prostituation a legal business though, with more regulation, then it wouldn't be bad at all.blind_fury said:Adultry leads to broken families.

Whoa, déjà vu...jaguarr said:It also leads to to battered wives and husbands, dangerous situations for children, stalking and other types of destructive behavior. Domestic violence is at an all time high in the U.S. and accounts for many more deaths and instances of ongoing abuse every year than prostitution does.

a good point made from another thread.Prognosticator said:Sin is sin. The Ten Commandments doesn't necessarily say prostitution is worse. Furthermore, adultry in biblical terms as quoted from Jesus says, "anyone who has looked at another with lust in his eyes has already committed adultry in his heart". Ergo, prostitution already falls under the umbrella of adultry. You're welcome.
what about one-night stands?raybia said:Adultry no prostitution, prostitution no adultry.
Ah, they are both sick and sinful.
What about recreational sex in general?raybia said:Very regretful.
That was my point. As it is, it causes more damage to lives. Now, if it were made legal, and regulated, it would be fine. Then I'd say they're about equal.Mee said:I don't remember excactly which verse but it says in the Bible all sin is equal. But in the eyes of people and the law, prostitution would be worse since it's illegal and adultery isn't.
That's dumb. God's going to punish a serial killer and a shoplifter the same?Mee said:I don't remember excactly which verse but it says in the Bible all sin is equal.
According to the poll more people think adultry is worse so why isn't it illegal???But in the eyes of people and the law, prostitution would be worse since it's illegal and adultery isn't.
Because you can't legislate morality. Adultery doesn't limit anyone's freedoms.blind_fury said:That's dumb. God's going to punish a serial killer and a shoplifter the same?
