Yes. Both the old and the new testaments forbid sex without marriage. Yes. Prostitution is looked upon as a sin, as is having sex with a prostitute. However, Jesus was not judgemental in this. There is the wonderful story of a woman 'caught in adultery' (often a euphemism in The Bible for prostitution) who was being lynched (as execution by Jewish authorities was not legally permitted but only allowed under the jurisdiction of the Roman occupying force) by stoning. When questioned by those who condemned the woman as to whether she should be put to death, Jesus commented "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". He knew too well that those who accused her were those likely to pay for her favours anyway, and were hypocrites in the extreme. As the crowd dropped their rocks and dispersed, Jesus asked the woman "where are they who condemn you? .... and neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more." Notice that Jesus did not condone what she had done - he expected her to turn away from this sin for good - but he did not judge her. This is a good lesson for us. Although some may feel that prostitutes are the lowest form of life - they are still people loved by God and worthy of that love. Yes, they and their customers are sinners, but so are we all - and we should never forget that.

Is all this stuff about preachers who are part of Illuminati a conspiracy against Christianity?

In truth, it is a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy against intelligence. Perhaps a conspiracy against sanity. There is no secret, malevolent, construct of man that is organized against Christianity. Not even atheists can agree on how to address Christianity. For that matter, not even Christians can agree.

Is underground prostitution wrong?

Underground prostitution is much more dangerous than legalized prostitution. With legalized prostitution, prostitutes have the protection of the police in case of violence from clients or "managers" (pimps). The clients also have protection against disease with regular testing and licensing of legal prostitutes. Police could also focus their efforts toward violent crimes instead of arresting people who are engaged in a victimless crime.
