Still, no one has answered this: how will seeing a representation of the statue of David, a breast, or hearing any type of swearing contribute to morphing your child into a demented freak of society? How will it remove their "innocence"?

Well, I answered this question earlier on, but I am also not indicative of the kind of people lodging these complaints, so my answer only explains my actions, it does nothing to explain why people complained about this event.
I used the brackets to say that sometimes these things concern me together and sometimes they concern me apart, each case is different. Simple nudity doesn't bother me and I have no desire to shield my children from it. They understand what "naked" is and I have no desire to make them think that there is anything wrong with nudity. There is a time and place for it, however, in my opinion. But, I do not want, in any way, their minds clouded by the "puritanical" belief that nudity is wrong or bad.
Also there is a big difference between sexual content and nudity. Sexual content, at times, I do have a problem with, especially in a role as a parent.
As far as nudity in art, I think the "Church" holds a lot of the blame there. Without getting into a tirade of the sexual history of Christianity, I think many of the problems can be traced back to there.
Does that answer your question, at least from my side?
