JJ:
I read the article. It looks like Las Vegas is again placing more emphasis on adult entertainment similar to the way it used to be.

This does not concern me a hundredth as much as many other problems going on in the world. I'm just glad that I still live in a country free enough to have a Las Vegas. Do you think a Las Vegas could ever surface in Iran, Cuba or North Korea? Not hardly. Wherein lies the greater sin?

The greater sin always lies where freedom is strangled and violence on the innocent is threatened.

When we have freedom we will always have to deal with groups who have lifestyles and approaches alien to our own. The best thing to do is let them have their space and make our own space in a place of our choosing.

One might take note that Jesus voiced much more concern about ignorance and hypocrisy than he did any interest the people had in sex. In fact he never condemned the prostitutes and sinners. All are aware of him saving the prostitute with the famous phrase "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone."

To those who would not listen to the truth he said: "It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." Matt 10:15

Whatever the sins of Sodom and Gomorrha it did not seem to bother him as much as the ignorance he faced.

The only specific reason that God said he destroyed the earth in the days of Noah was the "violence" that was prevalent. (Gen 6:13)

If I have one neighbor who goes to see some scantily clad ladies perform in Las Vegas and another doing violence to his wife and kids I will be much more concerned about the abuser who in inflicting real pain upon the innocent than the guy just trying to have a good time.
