why, the same with defensive religious people. They'll see a criticism on churches and they will take it as a personal attack
Please let me know how relevant belief is to regulating and taxing prostitution. Like, he had that shit waiting to go and found any place to cram it.
he said that churches are taxed and regulated and whatnot, as prostitution should be too.
Maybe saying "same as belief" wasn't good, but the rest of the comment makes it clear they're talking about churches. Not to mention the demonisation of prostitution that comes from those churches, so i find it relevant.
Or maybe there's other parallels you can draw between belief and prostitution, like being roped into one against your will, or maybe it being "the only option", or being the only thing some desperate people look to for help, etc.
Well, belief used in the sense of how most "churches" use belief, as a way to indoctrinate, kind of like the modern church.
You can draw many dots and see it can be relevant to the discussion as a comparison, but it's easier to offload the mental work to others, no?
but that's the thing, they are not, so he just picked his spot to throw shade.
