Nudie Bible Institute

It’s one thing to be a fundamentalist Christian who takes the Bible literally.

But I think this is taking it too far.

The complaint:

“We are just a group of Christians and we want to hold a church service.”

Who is stopping them?

Not atheists.

Other Christians.

Apparently, naked mass just isn’t for everyone.

The Dutch naturist Christians, part of a global movement, held their first service in June, when a clothed priest presided over a nude congregation of 80 people in Zeewolde, a town in the Flevoland region of the Netherlands.

…

Christian naturists take the tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden as the model for their beliefs and ceremonies.

When God created man and woman, Adam and Eve were both naked and “felt no shame”, according to the Bible.

The naturists believe that as humanity’s first couple were blameless and as the Bible places no requirements to wear clothing then there is no reason for Christians to be ashamed of their naked bodies.

The first nude mass “led to a flood of threatening phone calls and emails from more orthodox Christians.” As a result, the second mass was cancelled.

It’s being rescheduled.

…

This leads us to the new contest. Winners get wristbands!

What comments were overheard during the naked mass?

Funny and creative answers will have a shot at winning.

Good luck!

I think this is great. One needs the bible for morality, the claim goes. Of course, it has to be the CORRECT interpretation of the bible. But by what standards does one claim an interpretation to be incorrect? The problem extends to less harmless examples: it’s very difficult, I believe, to attack fundamentalists on biblical terms. This shows that there’s something else motivating our morality.

What an onerous predicament.

Overheard at the naturist mass: “Psst! Hey, why is the priest clothed? What sins is he hiding beneath his robes? Did he eat the fruit offered by the talking snake?”

Pastor: “Genesis 45:23 says ‘And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.'” (Just as he said that a titter ran through the crowd.)

Shoot, I was too late for a “rod & staff comfort” joke, so I’ll do a similar one…

“When the hymn said Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod, you really took it literally, huh?” (the Jesse’s rod thing is a line in an old hymn “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name”, which I always got juvenile satisfaction from singing).

Come, Lord Jesus. Come and let your glory be known today, Lord. We wait for you with mouths full of your praise and bodies pliant and bending to your will. We offer ourselves to you this day, Lord. Oh, yes, we just ask that you penetrate us to the depths of our being with your mighty spirit, oh Lord, and just fill us to bursting. Oh, sweet Jesus…

So what exactly does that song, “Fill My Cup, Lord” really mean?

“Oh for crying out loud, we’re supposed to be born-again Christians, not porn-again Christians!”

And expanding on my previous entry:
“I don’t think that’s what Jesus had in mind when he said to turn the other cheek.”

And a totally horrible thought:
“Yuck! Jesus said ‘Come unto me’, not ‘come all over me’ …” (sorry)

1. Pastor: I see that a lot of you are happy to be here this morning.

2. Come kneel before me and repent

3. Forget the body of Christ. I want the body of the guy in the 3rd row.
