Mrs. Ml: "Last night on a television show, we saw the stations coming in from Europe and it was very [[shocking]] -- total [[nudity]] and [[pornography]]. I thought U.S. television was getting wild, but it seemed okay to the rest of the world, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_culture Japan] even. So is the United States and myself that [[puritanical]]? Or do we just have hang-ups about the [[body]] or is this a statement of the decay of [[civilization]]? Is there a lesson the world is supposed to learn?

TOMAS: Indeed, it does fit in with the earlier question, but only up to a [[point]], for this is again a provocative question not unlike the other but [[reflecting]] upon [[beliefs]], reflecting more closely upon your beliefs than the earlier question, and I am [[happy]] to expound somewhat and confess to you that, yes, your cultural [[mores]] are in your worlds rather [[puritanical]], and the [[evidence]] of [[nudity]] and [[pornography]] are in great part a counter-balance to the [[prudery]] which is a cultural [[inheritance]] from the [[monarchy]].

The [[human]] [[body]] is not in and of itself an object to induce [[shame]]. Indeed, the [[creation]] of the [[physical]] being is a [[miracle]] of creation, a work of art -- exquisite in its manufacture, and delightful in its variation. That your [[culture]] is so [[prurient]], forces the natural swing of the human [[creature]] to peek and streak and [[lure]] in other avenues, and I could say that much of this [[decadence]] is the fault of those high-brows who find that even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastfeeding nursing infants] in public is a shameful and [[sexual]], therefore loathsome, act.

I [[hope]] I have not ruffled any feathers here this afternoon with this [[response]], but I am, even so, glad to have had the [[opportunity]] to point out that this [[moral]] value [[judgment]] serves no purpose in [[Our Father]]'s Kingdom, and it does contribute to [[alienating]] brothers and sisters in the flesh through misunderstanding of true [[value]]. Anything further?

Mrs. McD: Tomas, while we're on the subject of [[sexuality]], I wonder if you would comment on what is the [[purpose]] of [[homosexuality]]?
