  • Christian and Muslim View on Marriage

    Christian and Muslim View on Marriage

    Marriage What are the Christian teachings on remarriage? Christians look to the bible for advice. I found a passage about divorce. In the bible it says: Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery. (St Mark 10:11-12) This means that remarriage isn’t allowed in the eyes of the Lord brought them together and nothing should part them.

    Should Prostitution Be Legalized

    Why is prostitution bad? Can someone make a claim using liberal logic (ie, no appeal to but its wrong!) that the free exchange of money for sex, absent violence or coercion, is wrong? I don’t think so, unless you’re willing to infantalize women and say that any case of prostitution means that the woman involved in being victimized. It’s obvious why this line of reasoning is bad, if we can’t assume that adult women are
