"She became a stripper, which is LEGAL. She got a LEGAL job, so it can't be compared to prostitution or selling crack"
I have come up with 5 jokes based on the last 6 letters of that sentence!

Using "the letter of law" creatively to justify self-willed, self-obsessed, spiritually destructive behavior. Very interesting but spiritually bankrupt.

I have a question for all of you who 'rock throwers' who aim at the woman when tossing your stones:
Which is a greater sin, dancing naked or taking the Lord's name in vain?
It almost makes me sick that all of you have passed over the shear vanity expressed by Rick Cole, the senior pastor who believes he can read God's mind and therefore has the right to control the lives of others. While you shred the stripper for dancing provocatively you bow to the preacher who breaks one of the Ten Commandments without a second glance... then bemoan how far society has fallen?

"Rick Cole, the church's senior pastor, said God thinks stripping is demeaning."

So lets see... He may judge others and take God's name in vain, but the young woman must be stoned for dancing naked on tables? What gives him the right to say that and go unnoticed?

Since when are stripping and prostitution the same thing? Reminds me of another commandment, something about bearing false witness…
I guess you think the only way someone can take 'The Lord thy God's name in Vain' is to say GD, I bet you'd slap your kid for saying that.

You are seriously confused. There is not a Christain denomination in existence that approves of stripping as a profession. This is because the idea of stirring up lust in other people, deliberately, is sinful. If looking at a woman with lust is equivalent to adultery, then what is the woman whose job it is to make me lust? She is certainly not a good Christian who seeks to avoid sin, the appearance of sin, and the fostering of sin in others.

Her job, freely chosen, is to help others sin. This is not consistent with a profession of Christianity.

Since Jesus extended the commandments into our hearts and minds, not just our actions. Selling sex is adultery.

Teaching the clear truth that, even in a sadly divided Christianity, is upheld by all is not "judging" or taking the lord's name in vain.

Since the beginning of human history, if you are talking about it in the same context as dancing lewdly, nude, before a sea of paying men to sexually stimulate them for money, "pole dancing" and "table-" and "lap-dancing". But hey, don't take my word for it. Ask your grandmother. It is only our leftist, liberal, de-constructionist, revisionist, latter 20th Century mores that have re-defined what used to be summarily regarded as whoring.
