Btw, can you show me where in the bible it says that prostitution is a sin? And now show me where it says that child molestation is a sin? I’m just curious as to the exact wording and context. (btw, I think that child molestation is one of the most evil things a person can do.) ---

Adultry…any sex before marrage is biblicly wrong. Dont get mad at me. Its the bible that says it, and I’m not the person being “judgemental” for it. Take it up with God if you disagree. I will tell the truth that I have personally not come across anything specific about child molestation, but I believe it goes under the same catagory of adultry (even though I would personally rate it under some worse-off category, but thats not for me to do. Remeber, biblicly all sin is equal, so in all honesty it really doesnt matter spiritually which is “worse”. they both are.) Like I said before, I believe it is evil as well. Oh, and about the Bhagavad Gita, well, thats where faith comes in doesnt it? 😉 I dont check the Bhagavad Gita because personally I believe that it is not the determining factor for any salvation. People will disagree of course, but thats ultimately not anybody’s decision besides the Creator Himself. ---

I had a fundamentalist friend with a similar interpretation of christianity as **ThatGuyWithPants**. I remember her reasoning to me that eating chocolate was as bad as murder, because it was gluttony and a sin. Hmm. We’re all a’going to hee’lll… ---

Hypocritical, but interesting. ---
