I think I read one time that Martin Luther once said that brothels should be like sewage disposal- Something that should be there, but out of the way and not heavily advertised.

Although I'm an evangelical Christian, I've wondered if maybe perhaps cities had a red light district-one where prostitution and drug usage is legalized, but heavily regulated and taxed. Make an agreement with the owners of the brothels and drug dens-no violence, no ripping off customers, and if they try to recruit or do business outside the red light district, their butts go to prison for a long time. In return, they get to ply their trade without police trying to break up their businesses.

"Although I'm an evangelical Christian, I've wondered if maybe perhaps cities had a red light district-one where prostitution and drug usage is legalized, but heavily regulated and taxed....

None of that is a thought which an evangelical Christian would entertain.

"You must not love this passing world or anything that is in the world. The love of the Father cannot be in any man who loves the world, because nothing the world has to offer -- the sensual body, the lustful eye, pride in possessions -- could ever come from the Father but only from the world; and the world, with all it craves for, is coming to an end; but anyone who does the will of God remains forever." (1 Jn.2:15-17).

If it's subjected to extra taxes, the government will encourage it to raise revenue. For the children of course. That's what government revenue is always for, right?
