Paul would disagree. If you are a believer and living in sin, then it is the responsibility of the church to discipline. (1 Corinthians 5)What you do in private is between God, your family (if you live under your families roof) and you.
This has to be the most amusing (and pointless) statistic ever. If you legalize something that was formerly illegal, of course the crime rate will lower. . .But it did lower the crime rate. No more prohibition put the underground and mafia out of business (well they found other things to do) but it did decrease the crime.
If we legalized murder then all those who commit murder are no longer committing a crime. Hence, the crime rate drops.
And the mafia is far from out of business. Yep, they are still around today, after almost 80 years of legalized alcohol. Just the same as the criminal organizations that peddle marijuana will not go out of business. They follow the money.
