Why is it these things are considered so bad according to religion? Or at least the Abrahamic ones? I don't see as long as it's not hurting one, then why is it really such a big deal?

When you've got nothing to actually sell, you've got to guilt people into giving you their money.

Very few Christians in the public eye have ever let what Jesus did or didn't say stop them from offering their judgement. Jesus never said a word about abortion, did he? Still, his followers insist on trying to control the bodies of others.
