New Strip Club Rules in Detroit!

[LeannaM]

I wouldn't want to live near a bar or strip club, but they're legal and they pay taxes. I don't approve of the activities that go on there, but they're legal, so I see no reason to drive them away. Do they bring down property values around them? Possibly. But unless there's some better business waiting to move in, driving them away will only drive away tax dollars.

No city needs strip clubs or bars or nail salons or pawn shops, or book stores or any of that stuff. A city needs hospitals, schools, government buildings, and grocery stores.

That said, are strip clubs the biggest problem in Detroit?

Biblically, is sex outside of marriage wrong? Yes. So is drunkenness, and gluttony. Let's shut down every place that sells alcohol or food, or perhaps limit how much food a person at a restaurant can order. The Bible also says to not consult with psychics. Kick all of them out of the city as well. Homosexuality is a sin. Let's be like Hitler and round them all up and shoot them. Of course, I'm being sarcastic about shooting them, so I don't mean to offend anyone. As far as sexual sins, Lust is a sin. Shut down the strip clubs, as well as any place that sells pornography. If any music promotes pre-marital or extra-marital sex, or violence, or drunkenness, let's throw out all that music as well. And of course any nude art must go.

I believe that what the Bible says is true. But you really have to pick your battles. You're wanting to kick out strip clubs, but doing nothing about the other places that promote sin. Unfortunately, the world is the way it is. If you want to kick sinful businesses out of Detroit, go ahead, but don't pick one particular sin. Kick them all out.

I do not approve of strip clubs, but you have to pick your battles. This is America. People have a right to sin as much as they want, providing that it is legal [[you can't murder someone).

Pick your battles.
