Equality is sacred because lots of evil people then get to play god.
uhhgh...now I’m seeing someone purveying little undies for dog...
The ONLY good thing that came out of the “Fall of Man” in the Garden of Eden is mankind learned to cover up.
Serious, can you imagine if we lived in a world where Michael Moore or Rosie O’Donnell, walked around nude?
Which is why a few of us realize that we need a Constitutional fix.
The Constitution should be explicitly based on the Bible, making America explicitly, legally a Christian nation.
In it’s present state it has glaring ambiguities and is not explicitly Christian, and the results are all around us.
I’d have to assume that in San Francisco, not every nude person’s body is clean and smelling fresh all day and for that reason, public nudity should be banned.
1st Amendment. Re-read it.
As for public nudity... Everyone is naked under their clothes. Leave it up to each community and vote with your dollars.
Personally, I wouldn't visit such places. Nothing there I want to see.
They should invite these people to come and publicly walk nude in Anchorage, between the months of December and February...
They can have a parade if they want :)
I want to vacation in the world where Jessica Biel and Angie Everheart are walking around nude.
That's just me though... Not sure my Wife would agree.
RE: Nothing there I want to see.
Not even if the Victoria’s Secret ladies decide to go on parade? :)
I wanted the first few sentences to tell me why public nudity is wrong. No such luck. Finally the author says it’s because it distinguishes us from animals who wear no clothes, and therefore seeing an animal’s genitals is normal and seeing ours is not. Hey - I seldom see animials’ genitals. They are mostly hidden by fur and their location between the legs.
I don’t believe in public nudity but the article was a waste of my time. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
Can the highest court in New York state really see no difference between a man’s chest and a woman’s? I certainly can, and I ain’t no damned judge!
Of course, it is, at times, rather entertaining to judge wimmins’ chests ....
Besides, I'd rather just let my Wife shop at Vicky's Secret... ;-)
And I was hoping that the author would elaborate on his equating, in the first paragraph: human genitals, men's chests, and women's chests; and maybe indicate whether I (as a man) am wrong to go about topless when performing yardwork on hot summer days, but no luck!
I'm not sure, but I get the impression that he thinks that's wrong, too. (Maybe I could get a "National Geographic Exemption"?)

Reading this article, the song “Bounce Your Boobies” by Rusty Warren popped into my head :)
It was the Fall that makes Michael and Rosie look like they do. If we had not Fallen, we’d all look much better.
True, but even if someone looked great, there would still be problems. Some people will sometimes have errr racing streaks in their underpants because of hygiene habits.
Would you want them to come butt naked and have a seat at your restaurant?
The Bible does not force anything but the moral law on unbelievers.
It works the same way ancient Israel was commanded to treat “strangers”.
Our laws against murder, theft, etc., are based on the Old Testament moral law. Pre-American European law - the idea of what’s right and what’s wrong - was based on the Bible. This is why sodomy laws were called sodomy laws, because that’s the word the King James Bible uses. The founders did NOT discuss what the moral law of America would be, i.e., should we make a crime and what we should not make a crime from a secular standpoint. In that day in Europe and America the Bible was the generally accepted root source for understanding what is right and wrong.
The guys who wrote the Constitution corporately came up with this open-ended idea on religion which only worked until the selection of elected leaders started to go into the toilet, which was very early on.
1st Amendment is too vague and allows Christianity to be attacked. So it is being attacked.
Post-WWII we started to pick and choose to legalize some acts, such as sodomy, and murder of unborn children.
Just because a majority wants to make something legal, that does not nullify the effect of the moral law given in God’s Law Word the Bible.
There is no middle ground on religion even though secular humanists maintain that there is. This is being demonstrated now as the secular humanist government turns on Christianity - and Jews who are practicing - in favor of what self-serving politicians see as an up-and-coming group, islam. A nation is either Christian or it’s not. Jewish or it’s not. Muslim or it’s not. Secular humanist or it’s not. If it doesn’t say what it bases it’s law on, it’s secular humanist; it bases it on what the power struggles between people result in. Dems in charge, abortion is legal. Repubs in charge, abortion frowned upon. Believers in charge, abortion illegal.
This is why, IMHO, the real battle is for hearts and minds of the population.
IMHO, it’s the truth that sets us free, and lying to ourselves that sins of the flesh and other sins are acceptable does not set us free, it makes us a slave to those sins.
The Bible tells us that civil government has “the power of the sword” to restrain evil. If it doesn’t use it righteously evil is not restrained.
From the “Knockers Up” album? I recall covertly listening with several friends to that album that belonged to a friends dad when I was about 14.
