Arktis brought this humorous story to my attention about one Christian’s crusade to create a 104-acre nudist colony near Belton, South Carolina. While the project is not going over so well with the locals, I wanted to explore the issue a little more.
Upon a little Googling, I discovered an interesting Christian group called "Naturist Christians" (possibly not work-safe) amongst many others. Their goal is very simple:
To serve as the meeting place for Christians and naturists across the world who want to serve Christ in a bold, honest, wholesome and natural way that is free from the oppressive effects of traditions and practices that cast needless guilt and shame upon us all.
While I find the concept of nudism totally acceptable, I would like to hear from Christians on this one. From my knowledge of Christianity, I was under the impression that modesty trumps one’s desire to go back to nature. Now I’ve never understood this because the supposedly the human body is the creation of God. So what’s wrong with admiring his handiwork? I’m being totally serious here. If a group of like-minded individuals want to live in the nude, what’s the hang-up with mainstream Christianity?
And while we’re at it, I have another bone to pick…but this one is with the Catholic Church specifically. Why on earth is it against Catholic doctrine to marry outdoors? The fact that getting married in a man-made building (i.e. church) is more acceptable than tying the knot in nature (God’s very own creation) is absolutely absurd to me.
I’d like everyone to chime in on this one and enlighten me.

Peter, that was too short a post that you have put forward. Maybe you really should dress it up more.
Thank you, I am a Christian and a naturist. I believe in the Lord Jesus for my salvation. The problem in this world is that many people equates nudity with sex. I believe that naturism should be practised within certain parameters. To be a Christian is to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus and to live according to His directives, not according to the rules of a Christianity, foreign to the Bible. Yes there are a certain prescribe behaviour that Christian should live by. For more detailed insight on my views as a Christian Naturist, on nudity, marriage, sex, etc. Please have a look at my blog and comment. I can only learn.

Peter, you sound like an ideal candidate for our advanced exploding rectal syringes. Not like your earlier experiences with expansions. These will really open you up for access.
Peter, your whole religion, including your Jesus-sacrifice-salvation nonsense, is a steaming pile of bullshit. How is it that your omnipotent being couldn’t do his “salvation” bit without the whole silly Jesus hoopla, just to begin with? And how was Jesus’ death a “sacrifice”, when an omnipotent being could just pop up a replacement son any time with less than a snap of his fingers? Pretty pathetic “god” that you’ve made for yourself there.
Ask the questions. Break the chains. Join the movement.
Be free of Christianity and other superstitions.

The naked truth is that Jesus wasn’t a divine being, Allah doesn’t exist, and the Christian and Islamic religions are all bunkum.
Gods are made by or for weak, stupid people.
Bob, Glenda and Beemo, For sure you are entitled to your opinion, and I respect it. But consider this: If your views are true and there is no God, what have I lost? But what if there is a God, what do you have to loose? Have a look at this example. On which slot machine would you like to play. A Machine where you can get your money back or loose it or an a machine where you can get your money back or win?
I am not talking about religion but about a person that can make a difference in your life, He made one in mine.
I am not here to judge, only to share information.
Enjoy your day, love you.
Peter
Peter, that’s a stupid post that you just made and you are an ignorant moron. Your post is basically Pascal’s Wager, and it’s a well known flawed argument for the existence of your specific skydaddy. Google it before you post more BS here, you fscking stupid ignoramus.
Stop blathering at us about your sky fairy and piss off already, stupid.
Garianna is right on. Peter, this isn’t a place where you can get away with an argument as bad as Pascal’s Wager is. Do some studying before you post crap like that here again.
And next time, try to respond to the specifics of what you were presented with instead of dodging and changing the subject, you cowardly wimp.
Back at you, what you could not respond to:
The whole Jesus-sacrifice story, the foundation of your crazy superstition, is a steaming pile of bull-do. How is it again that your omnipotent being couldn’t do his saving bit without the whole silly Jesus hoopla? And how was Jesus’ death a “sacrifice”, when an omnipotent being could just pop up a replacement son any time with less than a snap of his fingers?

Peter, with exposure in vulnerable positions like that, you are an ideal candidate for our advanced exploding rectal syringes. Not like your earlier experiences with expansions. These will really open you up for access.
I am not here to win an argument, just share info. Believe just what want, but own up to the consequences. A wise person at least study all the options.
Love you

Peter, you are a liar. You plainly came here to argue and to try to sell others on your crazy blood cult, but you actually had no case to make, and you cannot respond with any substance to what you have been challenged with. Stop coming here to promote your disgusting cult of vengeance and bigotry.
Wise people have looked at your so-called option, that being your sick Christian fairy tales, and concluded that your religion is merely one more god myth. There is no evidence to support your disgusting beliefs.
Again, here’s one challenge that you just keep on dodging. We’ll bring you back to it if you dare come here again, asshole:

Peter, stop trying to avoid what you posted, you despicable coward. Your “information” was false and was based on a flawed argument better known as Pascal’s Wager. Google it, you lazy, dishonest jerk.
Peter, in such a penetrable positions as you keep assuming, you are an ideal candidate for our advanced fantastic exploding rectal syringes. Not like your earlier experiences with expansions. These will really open you up for even greater access.
I find it very interesting that Peter is the only one who didn’t insult anyone. All the other posters used words like ‘liar’, ‘stupid’, ‘sick’, and ‘steaming pile of bullshit’. This is one example among many where people who oppose Christianity are very vitriolic. Why does Christianity arouse such strong feelings of hatred in people, especially compared to feelings about other worldviews and beliefs? Might it be that there’s something about Christianity (as compared to other worldviews) that people just don’t want to accept?
Trev, after all the evil acts that Christianity has caused, and all the bigotry that its doctrine still supports, people sure have good reason to dislike or even hate it, and to rise up in opposition to it.
For comparison, people also have strong negative feelings about your islamic religious compadres over in ISIL, so I guess you’re in good company there, and no, there is nothing special about Christianity over e.g. Islam that way.
Deal with the negatives, and don’t be such a wimp. You’ve earned them. Maybe you should take a closer look at your evil dogma and get some understanding for a change of why it gets the reactions it does.

Trev, thanks for being such a regular customer for our advanced exploding rectal syringes. You clearly appreciated your daily experiences with expansions. Your friends sure must also appreciate your enhanced backdoor “bandwidth” for access.
Trev, Christianity is an insult to intelligent life, and it directly insults many races and non-Christian cultures, as well as promising death and torture to those who don’t follow the Christian doctrine. So shove off with your claims of non-insult.
Trev, you and your bigoted, racist religion suck shit.
Brian, that’s a good point. It’s kind of the look fairer, but actually be fouler kind of thing that Trev and Peter and others of their ilk are within.
Once you look even at all critically at Christian doctrine, past the fluff lovey stuff, it’s a very prejudiced and bloody religious doctrine with built-in hate and punishment for groups that don’t toe its bigoted line.
I do think Christianity is in decline; the Catholics sure seem to be even as they keep shifting positions away from what their last dogma version said about homosexuality, birth control, and other hot topics. Human mores and morals forming religion yet again, rather than the opposite that the religiousfreaks often try to claim. My vote is with yours: Christianity insults humanity.
Hi to you all, I am not here to win an argument or insult you. What you do with the info is up to you. Consider this – Warning signs on are not there to insult you or to win an argument, if you want to ignore them it is up to you.
Look at the labels on the foodstuff you buy, it is only to inform.
I only inform, you can agree, disagree, ignore do what you want.
Have a happy day.
You are in my prayers, whether you believe in God or not.

Peter, please put a huge sock in your mouth re your “inform” dishonesty. Your comparison of your post content with food label information is a shockingly misleading statement, because, for the most part, food labels are pretty accurate, whereas your material is blatantly false and inaccurate. You simply aren’t presenting information.
You are presenting both disinformation and misinformation, so like I said, grab a huge sock and chomp hard on it.
You lie, and you suck.
It’s actually a nice and helpful piece of information. I am satisfied that you simply shared this useful info with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there,
I am back again. Thanks for all the comments. I respect your views, although I might disagree. This is just to inform, not to convert.
But something more positive.
