Who is more admirable: a pornographer or a lay-about?
I choose neither.
There are many such dunderheads posting at FR. They are sick and lost beyond hope.
One is consecrated by marriage.
One is defiled by prostitution.
But then, these are just scriptural distinctions, eh?
So why bother?
Who cares, right?
Tell your daughter that either is a noble pursuit - if you believe so.
Oh, so it's the headmaster who is at fault here, not the stripper mother who enrolled her child in a Christian school ,agreed with the rules and standards and then turned around and violated them....and then complained to the media when she was held responsible for her actions.
Right.
My religiously devout stay-at-home wife is the most important part of the reason our children have turned out smart, ambitious, hard-working, well-adjusted, and law-abiding. The value they will give to the communities in which they will live, work, and rear their own families will be incalculable. Praise be to God, I say.
The stripper's child will run a high risk of growing up confused, cynical, sexually precocious, and addicted to alcohol or drugs of some kind. That's the hard reality of it. If the child avoids these traps (and I pray that happens) it will despite the stripper-mother's example--not because of it.
I wouldn't care about it at all if it hadn't become yet another reason for most of the major media to all get together and smear, spit on, pile on, misinterpret, misunderstand, and sneer at people whose religious principles are more important to them then keeping up with ever-backsliding social mores. At the same time, the media raised the (ahem) interest of non-readers/viewers by dangling the possibility there might be pictures of a beautiful near-naked woman. It's a win-win for them.
People like yourself, who only were in possession of the facts allowed by people biased in favor of Silvas, were quick to just take her side. As a person who considers himself a serious Christian and who can't stand Christian-bashing in the media when the bash-ees are guilty of nothing but maintaining their integrity, I can't let stuff like this go by unanswered. If you are going to forward inaccurate ideas -- like that she was above board with her profession -- I am going to give you the facts. When people suggest that nude dancing is something that is permissible for authentic followers of Christ, I am going to cite the words of Jesus and his apostles to set the record straight.
Whether or not yours or anyone else's impression changes accordingly is not up to me.
I don't think he was defending them. I believe you know what I was getting at. Don't you?
I thought I did. Maybe I didn't.
FRmail for more. BTW, this is for education purposes only. I am not condoning nekked playboy posing............ ;-)
What are you implying here?
You sound like you are a touch defensive about being a parasite on your husband. Now who is more admirable, the Stripper Mom who is doing something for her child or the stay-at-home mom Peggy Bundy?

You obviously have major issues...and a complete hatred for women. Seek help.
