I really get pissed off when these politicians try to shove their morals upon us because of their beliefs... I don't believe the way they do or the way you do... so why is something moral for one and not another...
example... there is nothing wrong with nudity.... we come into this world nude... Why make us wear clothing? Because of adam and eve and the sin of shame.... fuck that...
Keep church and state seperate... that is all I ask... In a country founded on religious freedom... allow me MY RIGHT not to believe.

nowhere in my statement did I say anything about the bible, your choice to not believe is yours and I don't put u down for that or anyone else.
I was just saying that the basis on which laws were created is there for a reason....to maintain law and order...
I don't believe in pushing one's beliefs on another, and how do u know what I believe besides what I have stated???
there is absolutely nothing wrong with nudity, it is in which it is perceived and exploited (like our wonderful jobs!)which makes clothing a neccessity for some that is....
your religious choices are excatly that choices. I have not stated mine yet I have had the opportunity to study many religions and have learned to take positive thoughts and use them to allow me to live a more peaceful life.
of course everything gets taken out of context, and what ppl don't take the time to understand is that some of those "stories" are "stories" like parables of which teachings and lessons are taught and should not be taken literally word for word..
I totally agree with Carrie..
