Mary Magdalene: You know, Bathsheba, I think we need to have a serious talk about lust. It’s been causing quite the scandal in our times.
Bathsheba: Oh, please Mary Magdalene, don’t act like lust is a new problem. I mean, have you heard of King David? Talk about scandalous lust!
Mary Magdalene: Oh, don’t even get me started on David! But at least in our time, we have Jesus preaching about the dangers of lust and the importance of purity.
Bathsheba: Purity, shmurity! Back in my day, we had some pretty strict rules about lust. But let’s be real, it’s not like everyone followed them. And don’t even get me started on those pesky bath time peeping toms.
Mary Magdalene: Well, lust is a serious issue! It leads to all sorts of sinful behavior.
Bathsheba: Oh come on, Mary Magdalene. I’ve seen the way those men ogle at you when you’re following Jesus around. I think you might like the attention a little bit!
Mary Magdalene: Excuse me? I am a faithful follower of Jesus, thank you very much. And just because I wear my hair down and enjoy a good meal with my friends doesn’t mean I’m lusting after anyone.
Bathsheba: Oh, you do protest too much, Mary Magdalene. But I’ll tell you one thing, no one can top the drama and scandal that lust caused in my time.
Mary Magdalene: Well, I’ll give you that much. But at least we can all learn from the mistakes of the past and strive for a more pure and righteous life.
Bathsheba: You make a good point, Mary Magdalene. Maybe it’s time we all start taking lust a little more seriously and focus on living virtuous lives.
Mary Magdalene: Agreed. And hey, let’s leave the drama and scandals to the history books!
