You might think the concern trivial today, but it certainly wasn't trivial when this nation was founded. You can't quote the Founders as you've done here---John Adams in particular---as the final word on the subject without recognizing the historical context in which their words were written or spoken. There wasn't a "capital C" Christian church in Adams' day, and there's not one today.
Have you not been reading my posts???? I never said that. I said that the church's teachings on morality should be the influencer, the moral conscience of the nation. I didn't say they should write our laws. Actually read the posts please....
By "write," do you mean "dictate"? "Ordain?" Where, exactly, is the line drawn between "influencing" the laws and "writing" them, as you say?In any event, if you prefer, we can return to the subject of the thread: should prostitution today remain illegal? If it should, why?
