The bible is not negative at all about prostitution. Rahab "the harlot" was praised in Hebrews 11:31 and Jos 6:17 as an example of faith. Rahab was praised because she helped Israelite spies whom she hid and helped escape but the mention of her as "the harlot" wasn't a negative reference .

In Hosea 1:3, God commanded Hosea to marry a prostitute named Gomez. In Hosea 4:15, God said he would not punish the daughters of Israel when they turned to prostitution.

Muslims have a way around it too, search the word; Sigeh

fact is that prostitution is as old as the world. Fact is that it being 'illegal' does not in the slightest reduces the amount of prostitutes or their clients. Fact is that people do it anyway.

Fact is that by making it "illegal" this only creates busyness opportunities for criminals/maffia-like organisations.

Fact is that prostitution prohibition laws ONLY benefits criminals and creates the grounds for (sexual) slave trade, spreading of VDs, etc.

What is more "moral", creating a criminal circuit or making laws to take control and reduce harm as much as possible?
