They will be citing 20 cases in the bible where Jesus said it is not only ok to cheat on your wife with a prostitute but required by 'god' to enter heaven. Then they'll all go out and cheat on their wives to shore up their beliefs.
Well to be accurate, Jesus did have a "relationship" with a prostitute.
Saint Mary Magdalene (
/ˈmæɡdəlɪn, -liːn/;
Hebrew: מרים המגדלית; original Biblical
Greek: Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή
María hē Magdalēnē, literally "Mary the
Magdalene"),
[1] sometimes called simply the
Magdalene, was a
Jewish woman who, according to the
New Testament, traveled with
Jesus as one of his followers. She is said in the Gospels to have witnessed
Jesus' crucifixion and
resurrection.
[2] Within the four Gospels she is named at least 12 times,
[3] more than most of the apostles.
The
Gospel of Luke says seven demons had gone out of her,
[Lk. 8:2] and the
longer ending of Mark says Jesus had cast seven demons out of her.
[Mk. 16:9] She is most prominent in the narrative of the crucifixion of Jesus, at which she was present, and the witness in all four Gospels of the empty tomb, which is central to narratives of Jesus' resurrection. She was also present two days later, immediately following the sabbath,
[2] when, according to all four canonical Gospels,
[Matthew 28:1–8] [Mark 16:9–10] [Luke 24:10] [John 20:18] she was, either alone or as a member of a group of women, the first to testify to the resurrection of Jesus.
[4] John 20 and
Mark 16:9 specifically name her as the first person to see Jesus after his resurrection.
Ideas that go beyond the gospel presentation of Mary Magdalene as a prominent representative of the women who followed Jesus have been put forward over the centuries.

Mary Magdalene is considered to be a
saint by the
Catholic,
Eastern Orthodox,
Anglican, and
Lutheran churches—with a
feast day of July 22. Other
Protestant churches honor her as a heroine of the faith. The Eastern Orthodox churches also commemorate her on the Sunday of the
Myrrhbearers, the Orthodox equivalent of one of the Western
Three Marys traditions. During the
Middle Ages, Mary Magdalene was regarded in Western Christianity as a repentant prostitute or promiscuous woman,
[6] claims not found in any of the four canonical
gospels.
