    to quote hottie: "I'm not bashing anyone for their religion, I'm bashing for claiming a religion that you do not follow (read as being a hypocrite)."

    i've not seen a lot of asking...i've seen a lot of telling us we can't reconcile our sex work with our beliefs. preaching to me about how i can't be religious to make yourself feel more self-righteous is not a discussion. a discussion means you're actually listening to what i have to say and you care about what i think. a discussion requires two people...they don't need people like me and tg here, they could have this conversation all on their own. they are here to tell us we're doing it wrong. there's a huge difference there.

    I'm actually pagan, christian, buddhist, and more because God is in my heart and in everything I see around me and I don't need to follow one path or quote one single book written by MAN to be spiritual. And TG you didn't attack me or put me down because 1) you're not like that and 2) that's not what this thread is about. THIS thread is about beliefs about whether or not one can be religious and be a sex worker. There are thousands of different religions. Not just Christianity and Catholicism.

You've never heard that saying?

    I didn't even know naughtycammer was pagan. That religion scares me a bit but you don't hear me bashing her for it. I'm not going to bash minnie because of her religion. You shouldn't bash people because of their religion and call them hypocrites because of what they choose to do for work. It's tacky and you're only asking for trouble. Wasn't Jesus good friend with Mary Magdalene?

    Wow. I cannot believe YOU actually said this, Smurfette. Really? Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you for I don't know how many hours now on that other thread? Maybe this statement is case by case basis.

    Hottie said:
    "I'm not bashing anyone for their religion, I'm bashing for claiming a religion that you do not follow (read as being a hypocrite)."
    She said it herself. So this thread is supposed to be a flame war. Let's the games begin.

    i'm all for discussion...hell, i spent six years doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and breathing religion while i was in school and i talk about it all the time. but this isn't a discussion...discussions are two sided. this is y'all telling everyone else how we're wrong. i can understand why religious non-sex workers might want to tell me how i'm wrong for the sake of my soul or something...but y'all don't have that excuse. so what is the point?
    I don't think they were trying to "take us down", but rather trying to understand. At least that's how I'm taking it, and I'm not at all offended. The questions are valid considering what mainstream "religion" has made things. I think that those of us who do believe in God, and know the He's ok with us doing what we're doing, are something that doesn't make sense to a lot of people. Believers and non-believers alike. We're different than those "religious people" and if we claim to be of a certain religion (as they understand it), how can we possibly be cool with what we're doing?

    Close enough?

    thank you
    what the fuck is wrong with people? i havent seen bashing at all and thought this was a cool ass topic because there has been a civil debate amongst non-religious people and religious people. Not anymore. I think some people are being a little too sensitive and cant take thoughts that don't fit in their box.

    Anyone on here fighting over religion is extremely pathetic. You have no right to say whether or not some one is "worthy" or not. In retrospect we are all whores that show are body for money. Get over it, even if you go to church every Sunday, you still, are not better than me. Also, reading the bile DOES NOT make you more of a christian so stop fucking saying it!

    I am NOT bashing anyones religion. I am bashing people for claiming a religion they are NOT following. If you are a christian, muslim, buddhist whatever thats great and I am happy for you. If you have your own relationship with God I am also happy for you. However when you say you are a christian (example) but are constantly doing things that are considered sins, but decide to give your self immunity or use repentance as an excuse to do whatever you want thats what I have a problem with.

    i don't understand why you have a problem with it, though. my beliefs and my relationship with god have nothing to do with you. i'm not claiming i'm better than you or i have any moral high ground. hell, i never even claimed to be a good muslim. where do you get off?

    eta: & i'm really not trying to be a bitch, i'm genuinely curious. i really cannot wrap my head around what you're getting out of this.

    edited again because i'm really trying to wrap my head around this.

    okay...according to your logic we shouldn't be calling ourselves muslim or christian.
    however...the only requirement for becoming a christian is to accept jesus christ as one's lord and savior. and the only requirement for becoming a muslim is to profess that there is no god but god and muhammad is his final messenger. being a sex worker doesn't conflict with those things. hell, the basic tenets of islam are the five pillars, and there is NOTHING in the five pillars about premarital sex.
    i'm not hung up on the labels, personally. i mean, if it makes you feel better, i'm happy to say i'm not a twue muslim, i just believe there's no god but god and muhammad is his final messenger. that's the important part, not the label. you say potato, i say potahto. i don't understand the reasoning here.

    okay, really going to bed now.

    Exactly. Like I said, she is doing it to feel better about HERSELF for whatever reason.

    So now I'm just going to watch her preach her nonsense.

    Okay, I dont meticulously point out the semantics of comments in hopes that there's something I can be rude about as usual. That seems to be your MO for the majority of threads.

    Is hotty coming off as naive, conservative, and close minded with some of her comments regarding religions and the sex industry in general....yes...but so what, we don't all need to have the same point of view. i didn't feel like she's being rude, just stating her opinion (which is what the topic asked for). some people know how to have a debate, without feeling the need to start a fight.

    now, were you an uppity lil bitch who freaked out and started attacking her personally....yesssssssssssss.. what's your excuse? just intolerant to differing point of views

    im not gonna have this e-fight. Cool topic Buffy, too bad it went South as usual.

    Because it's all they know. And it's ok. It's not up to us. It's up to God. Other people can tell me all day that I'm doing it wrong, but who I am says I'm doing it right. You're not lost either. Not by a long shot.

    I voted I don't have a religion. I consider myself more spiritual rather than religious, so I suppose I view that as 2 separate things. Plus, it's kind of a hodgepodge of ideologies (Unitarian Universalism, Agnostic, Pagan, etc...)

    I'm all for exposure to new ideologies though.

    I haven't seen anyone in this thread attacked, insulted, or called stupid or an idiot for being religious. There has been no 'bashing' , and for the most part (excluding hottie since she admitted to bashing even though I don't think her comments were offensive) all I've seen is people asking honest questions trying to understand, and in response the religious folks get all upset and feel like they're being ganged up on. But I think that's kind of silly and overly sensitive.

    BTW I think this thread has been mostly positive and I've enjoyed reading the responses of those who are religious.

    I'm not going to drag the other thread into this one because I'm over it but when you make comments like "all [blank] are [insert bad word here]" then yeah, an opinion does turn into bashing. But no one has said anything like that in this thread (yet)

    Argh, why am I getting involved in all these flamewars lately?! make love not war

    Thats not a argument , thats a opinion.

    And for the record, Its not even MY opinion. I Voted i have a religion.
    People other then hottie voted that they think sex workers shouldn't have religions.
    Actually, MOST did.

    My BIGGEST, most thought provoking question to everyone here......if you truly have faith, and BELIEVE then why do most 99% probably..... fear death??? Does not every religion promise some sort of "better" existance in the so called afterlife??? This is why it is so fear based to control......if your BAD you dont get into Heaven?? But if god is god, and created heaven and earth, then he must have created hell?? This makes no FN sense......think about it, EVERYONE is sooooo afraid they r going to fry
    if you hate me for being beautiful, you will love me for being dumb.......no one is perfect
