Nudity Should Be As Legal As Clothing

Point #1: (God created us naked. God wanted us naked. If you believe in God, then you cannot disagree with me. To do so is to go against God's will. ) - This I must refer to the good book, the Bible Genesis: "Yahweh God made clothes out of skins for the man and his wife, and they put them on. " This sacred text shows us that God covered the bodies that had stripped themselves, through sin, of the garment of grace. For this reason, we must all clothe ourselves decently, modestly and with dignity. Those who appear indecently dressed are an incentive to sin, and so are responsible not only for their own sins but also for those that others may commit because of them. Reflect that fashion, if it is indecent " and we see that the world unfortunately follows it as if it were a law " is a trick of the devil, a clever trap in which the devil catches souls, in the same way as hunters catch game in the woods and fields. Point #2: Clothing has seen many atrocities from child labor in sweatshops during the industrial age of America. To slaves working cotton fields that led to countless deaths during the Civil War. With the incredibly destructive history of a product meant only to cover a part of the human body no more meaningful than the rest, how can anyone support forcing others to use it? - There have been countless atrocities through history, from war machines to making drugs, prostitution and the like. This is not a valid enough to point your finger at an industrialized nation that has better standards than the time that you are referring to. Also note that these same clothes may very well have protected them from the elements. Point #3: Genitals are not sexual organs anymore than a person's fingers or mouth. All of these parts of the human body can be used for physical gratification. If you are going to cover one of them, you need to cover them all. There are people that go their entire lives without giving in to their animal needs. No one goes a lifetime without expelling waste from their bodies. So you tell me. What is the primary function of genitals? The answer is simple. To remove waste product from the human body. The mouth is used the same way when we vomit. Our nose is used the same way when we sneeze or blow it. Don't choose one part of the human body and place an inaccurate label on it then force others to cover that body part up. If a person can go around without a mask or gloves, then a person can go around without pants or underwear. To argue otherwise makes no sense at all. - Of coarse our body has many functions. A very complex system, capable of performing multiple tasks. Can you tell me that an erect penis or an aroused vagina has a sole purpose of excreting waste? Genitalia is the outwardly parts of our reproductive system. They are vital in reproduction and an essence to survival. Twisting around such a notion that any body part can be used for gratifications is a meager attempt to downplay the role our genitalia play in our reproductive cycle and to support your argument. If you were to use that theory our brain would be our biggest adversary. How would that be covered up? Point #4: If you can't see the beauty in your own body, then you shouldn't have one. - I can and do see beauty in my own body and in others. I personally feel the body is the greatest work of art known to man. This however does not negate the fact that for the betterment of a society, that some body parts should not be exposed. Point #5: Nudity and clothing have nothing to do with rape, molestation, sexual abuse, or any crime dealing with physical assault. If you believe clothing prevents any of these things, then check out your daily news. If you accuse nudity of causing any of these things, then you've just made a point for eliminating clothing altogether. Because all of these things exist in a clothed society. - We could only know if nudity made these crimes worse if we lived in a current nude society. A subjective stance on both of our parts, nudity may not be the sole cause but would certainly play a role in fostering such behavior. Nudity is not the cause, it is the perpetrators. Yet again, it could very well make a bad situation worse. Point #6: Clothing is a costly lifestyle. Nudity is a state of being and costs nothing. When you force people to have to live your lifestyle, then you may as well clone yourself and not have anyone else around. What makes us different is what makes us wonderful. - Clothing can be costly but there are many charities, fund raising, subsidies, etc. in place that make clothes affordable and accessible. Clothes can also be beneficial against many elements that are outside of our control, inside and out. In addition, our culture has grown to enjoy the many benefits and comforts of clothing. Yes, even the superficial ones. Point #7: Would you be willing to go without clothing if laws were in place banning you from wearing any? If you answer no, then to not allow someone else the freedom to choose between clothing and no clothing marks you as a hypocrite. If you are not willing to allow others the same freedoms you enjoy, then you don't deserve to have any freedoms at all. - To be willing and to not abide by a law are two different things altogether. A law is enforcement and to willfully act would be on my own terms. I would not choose too go without clothing by choice, unless a law was enacted that I had to abide by, unwillfully. Point #8: A nudist has lived as a clothed person. Before you debate me ask yourself this, "Have I ever lived as a nudist? " If the answer is no, then tell me who is better capable of discussing both sides of this debate? - This, from your own perspective makes you better at answering your question. There are many things legal and illegal that I have chosen not to partake but have used reason and data to support my decisions. I don"t feel being a nudist is a prerequisite for debating this topic. There is a difference between the people on this site that have debated this or similar topics in the past. I have debated this topic for over twenty years now. I look forward to your comments and participation.
