Re: Prostitution, Adultry and Christianity

What? So if a non-Christian forms the opinion that prostitution is immoral and does not condone it in this case, his opinion is totally cool and rational right? I am pretty sure "your Christian friends at work" or whoever had their reasons for thinking prostitution was wrong even in this case. Just because you disagree with them does not mean they are irrational.
Also, maybe I am misunderstanding your conclusion, but from this: "Such is the irrationality Christian's exhibit." it appears you are stating that because you quizzed a few random people who happen to be Christian at work, and you disagree with them (and this automatically makes their opinion irrational), that all Christians exhibit irrationality. If I find a few atheist friends who think prostitution is always wrong under any circumstances, would I be correct to say "such is the irrationality atheists exhibit"? Think about this for a second.

Matt,
Atheism isn't a belief system. Christianity is. And any reading of the NT will prove that the dogmatic viewpoints discussed in the OP are rooted in christian teachings.
Like any cookie cutter, your argument applies to some things, but not others. Guess which one this is?

Snowball,
Since your reply has absolutely nothing to do with my post, I cannot decipher what you mean by "Guess which one this is?". You should work on making sense.
If you are implying that because Christianity is a belief system, then all Christians must believe the exact same thing, then you are wrong. Thanks for playing though. We do disagree on things sometimes. For references, see the multitude of different versions of Christianity, and pretty much the last 2000 years.
You have a nice cookie cutter argument there yourself, by the way. In the future, it would be a good idea to point out why my argument "applies to some things, but not others". Also, you should perhaps say which things my argument applies/does not apply to, since your post doesn't make any sense otherwise.
