I agree that you cannot force anyone, and that they make the decisions on their souls. But, I think the Bible gives us all a duty to Witness for Christ and for G-d. I equate that to my duty to be a citizen of my country and in that, honor the laws of my country and live within those laws and call into question those who would break those laws.

Question: If you have five wonderful little girls at home and you now that right next door so guy is running a sex house, would you not call the police to report it to spare your daughters the horror of seeing all that. I would. That is being a citizen. That is taking responsibility. That is standing up for what is right. That is, in short, doing something to defeat sinful acts. With citizenship comes responsibility. If we all choose to turn our backs on these acts of crime, then our nation, city and block would turn into hell on earth. You don't want that to happen.

Here is where the problem lies. Is he committing a crime? Should running a "sex house" be a crime? A sin? Definitely! Immoral? Yes! A crime? I don't know.

I see a crime as wrongfully denying someone else their right to life, liberty or property. Does this qualify? Maybe I should move to a better neighbohood.
