So, you're telling me not to talk about Jesus?

 

[Peter Parka]

If someone views another's sexual parts, it's similar to seeing them in a sexual way,

Never really got naughty thoughts seeing a woman breast feed personally or for a male streaker at a football match.

Jesus is a part of the reason groinal (and breasticle) areas are taboo in the US, though

I saw a woman stadning on the side of the road the other day. Her boob was flully flopped out, with her baby sucking away. It was like she telling the US, "SEE THIS?!?! YOU WILL SEE IT. AND YOU WILL ACCEPT IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!"

Jesus made Adam and Eve wear a fig leaf, too.

Only because they ate an apple. And why was the gardener telling them what you wear?

 

[FreeWorkVest]

To some, it is as intrusive to flop a boob out as it would be to fart in some strangers face

Actually, that's an interesting thought. According to the Bible, God created man and woman naked and they only starting covering themselves up when they ate of the forbidden fruit at the prompting of the serpant, which made them ashamed. Makes we wonder why so many Christian religions are hung up on nudity when their God clearly isn't.:humm:

I would say because you wouldn't have sex with just anyone. You'll choose who and when and why. If someone views another's sexual parts, it's similar to seeing them in a sexual way, and people want to choose who they see and who sees them in that connotation. The body parts themselves aren't offensive. (*spends a minute hyperventilating about men's sexuality*)

What about nude photography, painting, etc?

So, you're telling me not to talk about Jesus?

I'm just saying that I won't believe a lot of what you believe, and i'm suggesting we don't involve religion too much because i don't want this thread to turn into an argument about religion

Oh, you're right there...

Well....God could have just zapped those fig leaves onto them to remind them, that they are sinners, and to stop looking.

It would be your choice to argue at that point. Debating and arguing are two different things. Also, you could just say, that's nice, and walk away. I don't get why people feel they need to tell others "not to say something." It's your own self control that fuels the fire, or not.

No reason for women to breast feed in public. I shouldn't be asked, if I am offended by it, to allow the intrusion to continue.

I'm suggesting, not telling, you can bring up jesus all you like, but then i'll bring up my views on religion, and you might find those somewhat insulting

Why not? you don't have to look, what is so offensive about it?

But for most, religion IS the reason they find viewing private parts objectionable.

Same reason I would ask someone to not take a dump on the table next to me, because I don't want to see it.
