“Maybe Jesus should have held on for a bit someone would have surely came along and not only condemned her, but most likely would have started throwing stones. “
Jesus could tell someone to go and sin no more and the problem is solved. I feel sorry for prostitutes. When I was young and talked to a few they were obviously sex slaves addicted to drugs and held in slavery by bikers. (My college buddies thought visiting biker bars was a hoot. I didn’t as I saw more than just naked women. I saw their condition.)
The problem of prostitution, as opposed to sex worker, is that they are slaves either in reality or to chemicals. Normalizing the profession does no good for them.
I’d have no problem with “sex work” if the worker got to keep her wages and paid taxes and all the other niceties of civilized behavior. But it isn’t “work” until they are essentially the same as comparable workers in all aspects.
You have a good point.
A lot of people think it’s all harmless fun, and that they’re just out making cash for themselves, when the reality is a lot of them are slaves to something or someone, usually both.
