Well lets look to the bible.

What pissed off god in the garden of Eden, it was Adam and Eve covering their nakedness after their scrumping session.

So all christians must go NUDE, NUDE I tells ya



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

If I didn't wear clothes I would constantly be having to tell people, "It's just really cold in here."
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:i'll go first. as a motorcycle rider, i think of protection first as why i wear them. can't imagine hitting the ground with no denim separating my knees and the pavement.

Not your knees you want to worry about, I can only begin to imagine the pain from 'certain' friction burns Devil

Clothes are not a matter of morality unless you personally kill an animal, I would otherwise think it to be nothing more than the longest lasting fashion in human history. Clothes are only necessary because people are far too self-conscious to abandon them. Honestly, not many people could cope with certain things being on show (Fat, stretch marks, scars, unsightly deformantions and physical inferiorities), we're all in some way victims to pride.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

Cloths are neither moral or immoral, they are things we wear, and depending upon context people assign a judgment to what someone wears or how they dress.

A military uniform says something about the person wearing it, but it may send different messages to the people viewing it, depending which military of which country they are in.

But nudity in in of itself is neither moral or immoral. In the case of nudity, for me, it is context of situation. If I go to a place that is not known for nudity and I have no expectation to see it and go there and there is nudity, then it might shock me. But if one deliberately goes to a nudist camp or swingers club they have a reasonable expectation that people will be naked.

I wouldn't want to show up to a family reunion with everyone naked. But I'd be a liar to say it wouldn't be fun to be at a legal nude beach, or a legal naked jog through a city street.

Cloths in human history have multiple purposes. Evolution wise in our early history it was to keep us warm and dry. It evolved into status symbols, then onto religious symbols. In todays modern life it can be all those things or merely simple comfort.

But over all cloths do not "make the man". Berny Madoff wore a suit. The PM of Iran wears a suit. The Pope wears a costume. But that does not make the entire population of the world value them and it will not prevent them from dying eventually.

So cloths to me for most of my daily life only serve as a pragmatic function of keeping me warm and obeying community standard laws. But other than that, I really dont care what someone likes wearing, the person is who is important.

Cloths wont automatically make you a bad or good person because they are objects.

Purple tastes like Rainbow Sherbet with fresh lemon wedges splayed throughout. Whipped cream is sprayed atop in a spiral, with your choice of girl scout cookies ringing the base of the dish.

If you're unable to understand it from that angle... it tastes like the vaginal juices of the woman you like most, your favorite fruit, and pure undiluted trust.

What? No tears? What kind of second rate dish is this? I refuse to eat this garbage until a sufficient amount of tears are added. Hows that internet coming along btw?
