I'm encouraged by the open mindedness of individuals here. Other forums I've posted this on have called me a perverted sex freak.
I have no problem when it comes to nudity. It's your body, do what you feel is comfortable. I don't tell you what to wear or what to do. If you want to be naked, run your nude self down the street and yell, totally cool with me.
That said, I kinda like my clothes. At home I'm usually found in my shorts or bathrobe. At work, however, clothes are a complete necessity. Working in a kitchen can be quite, awkward, if nude. Hot oil, boiling water, fire, and a naked body. Good god the horrors that could arise. And I keep all my knives razor sharp. And i'm a dude. You do the math.

Can you gamble? Can you drink? Are there pole dancers and strip joints legally making money and paying taxes?
The world no longer stones homosexuals or adulterers, witches are no longer burned at the stake, and the world has certainly moved on from the point in which Religion determines what, how, and when we do things.
You cannot blame a religious movement from the 17-18th century for the majority of social views today. Unless there is a massive conspiracy to keep me personally out of all of these atheist naked sex orgies that are going on.
Add to all that - women covered their breasts prior to the introduction of Christianity in Europe.
Your mostly correct, however, the only reason I've heard from someone as to why they don't want homosexual marriage to be legal in the U.S. is religion. So it still does influence some social views for some some people.
There's a reason why laws exist for us to to wear clothes. It's so beautiful people don't have to look at people like you and me without them.
chill mate, no one is attacking religion, it's just saying that religion has discouraged this sort of thing in the past and it still does today though to a lesser extent, that's allcuddly_tomato said:This is probably the worst thought out attack on religion I have ever seen on these boards, and that really says something.Ghadente said:Of course, religion has put its corrupt/greedy/blood-stained claws on everything, so it shouldn't be a surprise it came up, just that it didn't come up sooner.cuddly_tomato said:

No people think breasts are sexy because the have to do with a more innocent time in our life when it was our only food source or wait then wouldn't breasts make us hungry .........well then i guess i have no idea,SmilingKitsune said:
Well, actually, Adam and Eve begin wearing fig leaves they sewed together because they were ashamed of being nude. Before Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were completely nude, and felt no qualms about the subject.Ghadente said:
I personally endorse clothing, but I live in Washington, and it's cold and rains a lot here. So I like having my big, fat, waterproof coat.
I fail to see the differences between your telling of the story and mine, minus some grammatical and capitalization errors.Ghadente said:
That's mildly offensive, but it's your opinion, so I won't judge you.
As has been said before, people in Europe covered their private parts long before the introduction of Christianity or Judaism. Therefore Christianity and religion had little to no effect on it, as it was ingrained in European (and therefore Anglo-Saxon) culture long before the introduction of monotheism.
I'm going to ask you to kindly A) stop insulting religion by assuming that it causes everything wrong with the world and B) be respectful enough while talking about the God of Judeo-Christianity to properly capitalize His name.
My views on nudity? I like it.
But really, the great thing about nudity is that it isn't a constant thing or shared with everyone. If you and everyone else constantly saw your girlfriend/boyfriend/whateverfriend naked, it wouldn't be a special bond that you have now would it?

Voyeurism and exhibitionism can exist anytime something is done solely in private. For example, if it was socially taboo to eat in front of another person, then there would be that natural voyeuristic curiousity that would cause some people to get a thrill by peeking on someone else eating a sandwich. Likewise, there would be some who would find it exhilarating to be watched while they have a PB&J. The only way to eliminate those tendencies would for it to be acceptable to do anything and everything out in public without anyone caring. Not that that's going to happen anytime soon.KneeLord said:
Sure it does. But lets face it, most of those things are societal. Homosexuality is far less about religion and far more about a culture of machismo among males. When I was a young teen, it was cool to hate on gays, but was also very uncool to believe in god.PersianLlama said:cuddly_tomato said:This is probably the worst thought out attack on religion I have ever seen on these boards, and that really says something.Ghadente said:Of course, religion has put its corrupt/greedy/blood-stained claws on everything, so it shouldn't be a surprise it came up, just that it didn't come up sooner.cuddly_tomato said:

Religion does influence people both positively and negatively. But in the western world it holds considerably less bearing that it once did. And to link religion to people not sitting in McDonalds with their dick on display is about the most bizarre thing I have seen on this forum.
