ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A mother is behind bars after St. Petersburg police say she and her five children were seen on the street naked and carrying Bibles.
Police have arrested the woman and charged her with child abuse and exposure of sexual organs.
The children range in age from 5 to 15 years old. Police say they will be turned over to relatives.
The woman says that God told her that she and her children should walk down the street naked.
Despite my personal beliefs about God and religion that are particularly none of anyone’s business, I certainly do not believe that a higher being such as God would tell a mother and 5 children to walk the streets naked! That’s just silly.
Whether there’s a divine creation, or a random chemical reacton, just do what you can to be a decent person. There are rules that transcend religion (the “Golden Rule”) that are really the only guidelines that matter. Don’t kill unless you have to. Don’t rape anybody. Et cetera…
I can’t say with absolute certainty ANYTHING about the origin of existence… and I don’t believe anyone ever will. Be a good person without being a doormat. Turning the other cheek makes you an idiot. And if there is a deity, I’d imagine it would want me to spend my time appreciating all the shit I can do and not spend each Sunday praising it.

Exactly…
“Do not steal. Do not rape. Do not kill. These are principles in which every man of every faifth can endure.”
religion has told people to molest children, marter ones self and bomb abortion clincs… etc…, so walking naked children down a street doesn’t suprise me
