I think this moralistic attitude comes from a cognitive dissonance of the religious people. On one hand you have obedience of the religious rules, that stigmatize you as a sinful, if you accept the pleasures of the mortal world, which lead to eternal suffering in hell. On other hand you live in a world that has so many immoral temptations (by religious standards). Most of religious people live a very immoral life by their own standards, acknowledging this they fell they should moralize others.
Those same conservative cencurs make a fortune by owning porn shops, brothles & pimping prostitues. All those Bible Belt Christian preachers who have totally misinterpreted the book & seek to make money by "saving souls" alway wind up in some sort of scandal in the end.
I think the question is more than just "is something art or porn".We have to ask that in exactly what way does nudity do any damage to the society?There is no evidence that porn or any other form of nudity increases sex crimes.If anything ,there is a negative correlation between porn and rape.So porn might actually be helpful.
And if there is no harm that comes from nudity,whatever happened to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION?It's horrible to take away someone's freedom.
I totally hear you man youtube took down a video I did of my studio in which I showed some figure drawings It is a shame youtube rather have almost naked chicks shaking their ass instead.
This is a peculiarly American ailment, over here in Yurop (Where you'll find Michelangelo's art.) you'll encounter nude paintings, and sculptures, god forbid you should visit the epicentre of the Catholic faith, you'll see lots of nude art in chapels and churches.
As I see it, their god inflicted shame on Adam & Eve for eating from the tree of knowledge, so god inflicted shame upon A&E, and anyone still feeling shame about nudity hasn't therefore been forgiven, whereas we nudists have!
There are LOTS of places for LOTS of things in American society, but yet the same people who would have us decry censorship commit at least an equally unreasonable violation to people's senses -- if not a more severe one -- by demanding some imagined "right" to do ANY THING in any PLACE.
Variety is indeed the spice of life, but if we insist on a diet of pure spice, we forfeit variety.
(Besides, I find modesty downright sinfully alluring!)
Yep. There sure is! And if you speak your true opinion, there is a chance that someone who hears it will be offended. If you argue against religion, there is a chance a religious person somewhere might hear it and start to doubt the truth of his/her own religion. If you promote science, there is a risk a kid might see it and become interested in the scientific method. If you debunk quack science, there is a chance people will stop falling for it and the con artists might go bankrupt.
And if children happen to see Michelangelo's "David" or Ameno Modigliani's "Red Nude", there is a a considerable risk they might grow up to appreciate art, and what a shame THAT would be! (¬_¬)

To me this is a lot of pouting about nothing.

100% agreed!
I really hate it when religious people defend censorship of nudity because they're "protecting the children."
