My criticism is based in her stupidity, her lack of respect for her body (which left wing women claim to cherish) and lack of respect for the life she potentially could have conceived.

I’m not really religious but if it matters I’m a Jew. You don’t need to be religious to believe engaging in sex with random people is dangerous and stupid.

“You don’t need to be religious to believe engaging in sex with random people is dangerous and stupid.”

I don’t disagree with you, but your comment was over-the-top.

“I’m not really religious but if it matters I’m a Jew.”

To explain the cultural reference, there is an incident in the Christian Bible where there was a prostitute who was about to get stoned to death by a crowd of what-we-would-now-call Mizrahim-ultra-Orthodox (roughly). Jesus interrupted the lynch mob and said “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Convicted, they left her alone.

It’s a parable about holier-than-thou hypocrisy.

Holier-than-thou hypocrisy is rampant on FreeRepublic.

To your original point, yes, He also told the woman to “go and sin no more.” (liberals always leave that part out). So, there is no disagreement regarding sexual immorality.

But cheering that a woman almost died is a bit much.

As a further cultural reference, the prostitute in the parable was probably Mary Magdeline, a prostitute who repented of her crappy lifestyle, and played a key role in the Christian Gospels.
