Can't agree. Even by Christian principles, those without sin, cast the first stone, etc.
If you have to play by ALL the Christian rules in order to be a Christian, then you can't lie, you can't cheat on the income taxes, you can't make up an excuse for being home late, you can't speed, you can't look at someone's car and say, "I wish I had that," you can't hit back, etc. etc., etc. Obviously, playing by those rules would leave about seven or eight Christians in the world. Many of the standard Protestant religions and a fair amount of others simply belief that if you have faith, you're a Christian. The rest is just a matter of penitence and forgiveness.
It seems like a practical matter. If a guy's in the club to get away from the ol' lady, so to speak, then you don't want your first line to be, "So, are you married? Kids?" If someone's capable of feeling guilty from a religious standpoint, you don't want to beat the religious drum for them.

But I agree with her on this subject. The idea of a "christian" stripper makes about as much sense as a married priest or an AA meeting being held in a bar. If you don't generally agree with the goals and values of a group, you shouldn't call yourself by that name. I suppose someone could call themselves a "meat-eating-vegetarian" but that doesn't make them one.
