Elise Among the best challenges faced by clothing-optional beaches is that their popularity, combined with their deficiency, leads to intensive use, which in turn battles with environmental and management concerns. This has been a source of issues at several beaches across the country, including Sandy Hook in New Jersey, and Cape Cod National Seashore, which shut its traditionally nude shore seemingly for environmental Motives in the mid 1970s.272 177. The "secondary effects" of an actively managed nude beach have in actual experience proven to be less crime, less inappropriate behaviour, no drug dealers, a rise in parking revenues, and a rise in business in the adjoining commercial area.273 178. Nudity has regularly been repressed for financial reasons, not because it was considered http://www.sharetimemagazine.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=25454 . Bernard Rudofsky writes: "In the 1920s, in some parts of https://disqus.com/by/slottucker6/ used to bathe in public without feeling the demand for a particular clothing. At the peak of summer the beaches on the Black Sea swarmed with bathers who had never seen a bathing suit except in newspapers and picture magazines; their holiday was one of untroubled simplicity. . . . The idyll came to an end a number of years later when tourism rose its ugly head, and the demonstrations of foreign visitors led to making bathing suits compulsory." 274 The same thing has lately happened in the former East Germany, where traditionally nude beaches are now being confined to appease more conservative European tourists.275 179. We have to never forget that for any freedom that is 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 you have found out the exact amount of justice and wrong which will be visited 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 created by God, and God can create no evil. It is created in God's image, along with the image of God is totally pure and great. 181. Genesis 1:31-- http://camtoys.com.ec/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=902387 saw that everything, including naked Adam and Eve, was good. 182. Genesis 3:7--Many scholars interpret the wearing of fig leaves as a continuance and growth of the original sin, not a favorable moral reaction to it. Hugh Kilmer describes: "Guy 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 was not within his control, he Commanded it unnaturally by hiding it. After he was expelled from paradise, he began to hunt and eat animals; afterward to gain complete control over other people, 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 good, 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 indigenous societies in which nudity is the rule as well as a sense of shame is totally absent, and by the dearth of shame felt by naked children. 185. Genesis 3:11--It was https://www.kickstarter.com/profiles/1107951158/bio that came between Adam and Eve and God, not nakedness. The scriptures themselves treat Adam and Eve's nudity as an incidental issue. Robert Bahr notes that "when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they grew embarrassed of what they'd done and attempted to hide 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 act as a "covering" for sinners.280 186. Genesis 3:21--God made garments of skins for Adam, but the Bible doesn't 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 varieties of weather and climate, and God knew they would need clothing. God loved and cared for them even after they'd sinned. 187. To assume that because God made garments He was condemning nudity makes as much sense as concluding that because God made clouds which blot out the sunlight He was condemning sunshine. 188. Genesis 9:22-24--Noah was both drunk and nude, 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 much more than merely being undressed. It absolutely was his dehumanized, drunken stupor which was shameful. Ham's violation wasn't just seeing his dad in this shameful state, but
