Why would I--conservative atheist--want to go to where more of you theosocialists hang out, loving to self-righteously tell others how you want to run their lives?
Well, okay...some of those pagan chicks can be a blast, especially dancing nekkid in the moonlight...

I am curious where it is, Biblically, that people justify condemning this woman. I'm curious how much of our lines of morality come from current social mores, and not from actual Biblical directives. Is it purely from Paul's discussion of better to marry than to burn? Unfortunately, I can't seem to get answers...though I have learned how there were many saints, ancestors of Jesus, etc., were adulterers.
You asked, "I am curious where it is, Biblically, that people justify condemning this woman." Point to one who is condemning her on this thread ... you are perhaps confusing the Christian admonition to deal with sin in the midst of the Church, and condemning this woman. So far, I've seen not one person taking the part of the men picking up stones to stone the woman at Jesus's feet. I have seen and have joined in an effort to point up the contradiction in her words and actions. Not being a Christian, perhaps this is a difficult distinction for you, but Christians are instructed to not allow the fallen to fellowship continually when they have no part in the Resurrection found in Christ Jesus. It is a Christian 'thing' to want this beautiful young woman to turn from her sin and accept the transforming presence of God, in reality not lipservice, into her life. That must be a hard thing for you to 'hear'.
The old: "I know I am right and I'll beat you into submission to prove it!"
I'm sure that history's dictators all thought they were doing right by their moral compasses.
