Description[?]:
| The bible states that after Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, "the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." Only by eating the forbidden fruit did they rush to clothe themselves. Before, they were pure, and also were naked. Not in a sexual manner, just free from clothing. It was the devil in the form of the serpent who made them ashamed of themselves, and also got them expelled from the Garden of Eden. The Quran states, "Moses was a shy person and used to cover his body completely because of his extensive shyness. One of the children of Israel hurt him by saying, 'He covers his body in this way only because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some other defect.'" It was natural at that time to bathe together in the nude, and there was no shame in that. Later in the same chapter, Moses bathes in a private pond naked and leaves his clothes on the rock. Allah, wishing to clear him of his accusations, starts the rock rolling away. Moses runs after his clothes, "Till he reached a group of Bani Israel who saw him naked then, and found him the best of what Allah had created, and Allah cleared him of what they had accused him of." So, this bill states that Al'Badara's citizens should be allowed the right to wear no clothes if they so choose, in a purely non-sexual manner. This would also clear up negative stigma involved with the human body. We were all born nude, and it is natural for us as creatures of Terra to walk around naked. As always, a healthy debate is encouraged. |

| Date | 20:17:16, August 25, 2007 CET | From | Enlightened Cosmic Brotherhood | To | Debating the Shameless Nudity Act |
| Message | Children are born naked. Children only believe nakedness is some evil perverse thing if their parents shun them from it and don't allow it in the public square, it's not in their genes. If anything, they're naturally naked. |

| Message | Unfortunately we no longer live in the Garden of Eden. The CNF will vote against this bill as there is no reason to be naked in public. |
