They’re seeing prostitutes as a problem because of lust over women, that’s enough context to know it’s problematic.
Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?
1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoThere’s no need to instantly hate on Christianity without further context. If you’re going to one of the cultish hate-spreading or profit-driven churches, sure, but there are also many community-focused denominations which are good to go to as a place you’ll be welcomed at a low point in your life. I don’t attend any and am not particularly religious, but I imagine if I felt truly alone and had nowhere else to turn that an Episcopal/Methodist/similar church would be quite high on the list of physical places it’d be good to go.

I’m a Christian and attend church weekly.
Thank you for this. Unfortunately too many people on the Fediverse seem to think people are perfect angels until they get corrupted by religion.
It’s sad.

It looks like you just heard a swipe at Christianity out of the blue and took offense to it, but there is actually a significant amount of context here. OP’s conflict is framed very much as a Christian struggle between “being a spiritual person” according to the bible and “lusting after women.”
I don’t think we need more information from OP to label Christianity’s attitudes toward sex and even women generally, and absolutely sex workers, as toxic. You don’t have to agree with that but it’s not exactly out of the blue.
