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!
