nudity as a scapegoat for issues including litter and drug use

that inevitably appear in high-use recreation areas

without active management.
176. One of the greatest challenges confronted by clothing-optional beaches is that their
popularity, joined
with their scarcity, leads to intensive use, which then battles with environmental and
management concerns.
This has been a source of problems at several beaches all over the nation, including Sandy
Hook in New
Jersey, and Cape Cod National Seashore, which closed its traditionally nude shore
ostensibly for environmental
Rationales in the mid 1970s.272
177. The "secondary effects" of an actively managed nude beach have in real experience
proven to be
less crime, less improper conduct, no drug dealers, a rise in parking revenues, and a rise in
business
in the adjoining commercial area.273
178. Nudity has often been repressed for economic reasons, not because it was considered
base.
Bernard Rudofsky writes: "In the 1920s, in some parts of Europe people used to bathe in
public without
feeling the need for a unique attire. At the height of summer the beaches on the Black Sea
swarmed with How to Introduce a Pal to Nudism
Who'd never seen a bathing suit except in newspapers and picture magazines; their vacation
was one of untroubled
simplicity. . . . The idyll came to an end a number of years later when tourism rose its ugly
head, and the protests of
foreign visitors led to making bathing suits compulsory." 274 The same thing has recently
occurred in the former
East Germany, where traditionally nude shores are now being restricted to appease more
conservative European
tourists.275
179. We have to never forget that for any independence that's lost, we bear partial
responsibility for letting it be
lost.
In the words of Frederick Douglass: "Find out just what people will submit to and which are
openly tolerated and even encouraged on public property. have found out the
Precise amount of justice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. . . . The limits of
tyrants are prescribed by the
endurance of those who they oppress." 276
Christianity supports Naturism.277
180. Genesis 1:27--The (nude) human body, created by God, in God's own image, is
basically decent, not

Naturally impure or sinful. The human body was made by God, and God can create no evil. It
is made in God's
Picture, and also the image of God is completely pure and good.
181. Genesis 1:31--God saw that everything, including naked Adam and Eve, was good.
182. Genesis 3:7--Many scholars interpret the wearing of fig leaves as a continuation and
growth of the
original sin, not a favorable moral reaction to it.
Hugh Kilmer describes: "Man desired to put his life within his own control instead of God's, so
first he took
the power of self-determination (knowledge of good and evil). Next, finding his body wasn't
within his control, he
Commanded it unnaturally by concealing it. After he was expelled from heaven, he started to
hunt and eat animals; subsequently to
gain complete control over others, by killing them (the story of Cain and Abel)." 278
183. Genesis 3:10--Many scholars believe that Adam and Eve's sense of shame came not
from their
nakedness, which God had created and called It is summer! There's a whole new(d) universe
out there! , but from their knowledge of having disobeyed God.
184. An inherent, God-given sense of shame associated with nakedness is contradicted by
the existence of
numerous native societies in which nudity is the rule and also a sense of shame is totally
absent, and by the deficiency of
shame felt by naked kids.
185. Genesis 3:11--It was disobedience that arrived between Adam and Eve and God, not
nakedness. The
scriptures themselves treat Adam and Eve's nudity as an incidental problem.
Robert Bahr observes that "when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they grew ashamed of
what they had done
and attempted to conceal themselves from God, who wasn't the least bit concerned with their
nakedness but was
mightily unhappy with their disobedience." 279 Herb Seal notes that God supplied a covering
by slaying an
innocent animal: the first prototype of the innocent one slain to behave as a "covering" for
sinners.280
186. Genesis 3:21--God made garments of skins for Adam, but the Bible does not say the
state of
nakedness is being condemned. Because of the Fall, Adam and Eve were no longer in Eden
and were thus subject to
the types of weather and climate, and God knew they would want clothing. This is Michelle.
She first appeared in Private Photos in February in a contribution called Hottie Michelle @ 18
& 42. We had a bet about exactly how many remarks she'd receive. I won! This contri is the
result. She received over 100 comments, which made her so hot that this session ensued.
Part two will show one the many climaxes. She adores the comments, and good remarks will
bring more good pictures. Do not make me lose this round. You don't need to see my picture

(laff). Because of Kate, Sailor and all our buddies at nudist. That is so much fun. ps Sorry for
the clouding but you must comprehend. We're not pros here!
God loved and cared for them even
after they'd sinned.
187. To presume that because God made garments He was condemning nudity makes as
much sense as
Reasoning that because God made clouds which blot out the sunlight He was condemning
sunshine.
188. Genesis 9:22-24--Noah was both drunk and naked, but Ham was the one who was
cursed--when he
dishonored his father, by calling attention to Noah's state, and making light of it.
The shame of Noah's "nakedness" was considerably more than merely being undressed. It
was his dehumanized,
drunken stupor that was black. Ham's violation was not merely seeing his dad in this
shameful state, but
