How to handle dancers bringing up morality of stripping

Has anyone been in a situation where a stripper questioned the morality of what she does and how did you handle it? I was sitting talking to a stripper last Saturday night when she mentioned she was thinking of going to church the next morning but she didn't think she should since she worked as a stripper. I told her if she wants to go church then go and if she doesn't want to go then don't go. Then I told her she wasn't really doing anything bad like robbing banks or selling drugs to children and what she does really doesn't hurt anyone. She seemed to accept what I said so it seemed like I handled it alright. I thought she wanted some kind of reassurance but didn't want to go really deep into the subject. In some situations I've been in it seemed liked the girl actually liked the idea of being a little naughty or rebellious against societal norms so I don't think it's universal that all strippers feel the same. I've never really understood the general view of strippers as being bad. To me the female who goes on welfare who I'm forced to support with my taxes is at a lower moral level than a girl I give money to voluntarily because she is being friendly and giving me lap dances but I don't think that's the general view of most people.

w.r.t. dancing being seen as bad by most of society; I assume it's b/c America was founded on Christianity and thus why it's different than many areas in the world (e.g. Europe, Asia, Africa) when it comes to sex particularly P4P.
As I heard someone from Mexico say once w.r.t. why America was so prosperous and Mexico was not (or at least nearly as much); he said "people came to America seeking God but came to Mexico seeking gold" (or something to that effect).
On another occasion he told a story of how someone was trying to decide what church to join and left an umbrella at the front entrance. No one stole it. He said he didn't join that church. Everyone was too perfect. Tried another. Umbrella still there. Then he visited the church I go to. He said someone took his umbrella. That's the church for him. He didn't want to go to a church with no sinners where everyone was perfect.

I had a friend back in my lucent job days. He was a player and read the bible at work all the time. One night we were talking and he said that Jesus would just have to accept him for who he is.
Now I am not religious, And I hate it when someone brings up finding Jesus. specially, Used car salesmen over quoting the price of a car. With that said I was on a date once watching a movie, Can't remember the name. When that phrase came up in the movie. Both of us O'ed out loud.. I wanted to marry here so bad that night. It wasn't to be though.
So if someone brings it up, that's my position, and I'll state it if it sounds like they're asking my opinion.
Immoral doesn't equal unlawful.
Lawful doesn’t equal moral.
Moral doesn't equal lawful.
SJG doesn't equal sane.
I used to ride with him when he was drinking but I considered him a safe drunk driver. He never got past 15 mph before slamming on the brakes. It was really a stop and start trip every time I rode with him to the grocery store. As a freshman, I wasn't allowed to have a car.
I might even screw over the Middle East crowd by eliminating death and suffering. ISIS would be ticked if they can't kill anyone nor hurt anyone again,
Bottom line in the male female human ralathionship is it is a transaction of sex for resources and as a plus you may have deeper connection as well.
Strippers/prostitution are woman I respect somewhat more as it is more honest (sex for resources)!!
Sometimes the rationalization is interesting. I will blow you but you cannot come in my mouth because I will only take the seed of my man as I am faithful to him. "Sex with a condom prevents you from actually taking my seed right?" Yeah, for an extra $50 that's OK.
My retired ATF, and what she said about this is why she was my ATF and will never be replaced.
"We're only strippers." - What she said to me one night after she was sitting inside the dressing room at Sapphires Las Vegas and all these "diva" strippers were around her getting ready. She treated it just like any other job, was very religious and would often go to church when she could. She told people in her town that she traveled to Vegas on the weekends to be a cocktail waitress at a busy and fancy night club where she was tipped very well by the customers.
I think the OP handled the strippers questions well.
The truth is - the church is there for sinners. There’s nothing wrong with anyone coming to worship.
I view stripping as a job. There is nothing sinful about the job.
