Many wonder why I'm a nudist, a Christian Nudist at that! (And some just don't care)
In reality, I'm a nudist, not because of some religious dogma, but from a lack of it. Simply put, I just don't like to wear clothing.
So why are we making a "religion" out of it? We aren't. All we are doing is answering the religious zealots who insist on making a religion out of wearing clothing. So we have to drag religion into it to make sense out of it. To answer their condemning questions.
To help you out a bit, below is an excellent article called Acceptance by someone who is not a nudist, and who is not promoting nudism, but who does know I am a nudist (I told him when we were talking at a meeting one time) and found it very "interesting".
This Acceptance is about God willing to accept the reality of what happened in the garden of Eden and though does not approve of their broken ideas, accept that reality and work from that point forward. It helps explain our understanding of why humanity wears clothes even though God never made that a command.
I hope to hear some comments from here and there as well.

I see no contradiction between Christian teaching and naturism, nor did Pope John Paul II:
ReplyDelete"The human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve intact its splendor and its beauty... Nakedness as such is not to be equated with physical shamelessness... Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person...The human body is not in itself shameful... Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function of the interior of a person."
Here in the UK we have a society of Christian Naturists.
However, naturism is not a religion, it is a lifestyle.
Its not for me nudism is one of the evil thoughts.
