The Nude Life

So, when it was The Day, the Man and the Woman awoke to the Dawn and beheld each other in God’s clothing. They saw beauty and were not afraid. The birds of the air sang and the animals rejoiced that Humankind had found their way to Paradise!

Then the Serpent, always watchful, whispered into their ears “You’re naked! What if someone sees you? Naked means sex with anyone and anything that approaches you! God hates you for that! Quick, cover yourselves lest you be led into sin!”

So they donned scratchy fig leaves and covered some parts of their bodies, seemingly at random.

This went on for a few millennia until some of their children began to wonder why they had to wear scratchy fig leaves. The most daring decided to try life without, and discovered that God’s world was wonderful, the way He meant it to be!

They tried to tell others about this wondrous thing and found themselves scorned and ridiculed. They were forced to hide from the public view. Friends and family would look askance upon them for simply following that which they felt to be a natural way of living.

Many truly evil things were acceptable in the name of Society, and God, but the simple enjoyment of God’s gift was declared to be an evil brought on by the Serpent.

Our society seems to feel that waterboarding prisoners is OK, nudity is not.

Which of these brings us closer to God…?
