I understand that you 'feel compelled' to share what interests you. I'm not sure you undersand that others also feel equally compelled to share what interests them.

If you share your joys with others until they are forced to say 'Not interested' you're giving license to swingers, salicious gawkers, purveyors of religions you regard as false, and many others to share their joys with you and everyone else until told 'Not interested.'

Most people go to nudist places to relax, to escape the pressures and sell-sell-sell of everyday life.

Don't you think everyone - including you - should exercise self-restraint at nudist places?

Your joys are not necessarily others' joys. In fact, your chief joy may be others' chief dislike.

Is self-restraint too much to ask?

I am curious about the question of all of you who attend C/O and nude resorts, "how many of the resorts you attend offer a Sunday morning worship service?"

I find great harmony between religion and nudism, otherwise I would not be a nudist. Generally, I like harmony, period, in my life. That may not be true of every religion, but people in the other ones can speak for themselves.

What would an organic Christian like better, an immoral, hateful person who always wears clothes, or a humble, virtuous, and humane nudist? For some, that presents a huge conflict within him/herself.

How could it be that someone would prefer the immoral clothed person? Seems to go against the grain. There is enough of Jesus' teachings that bore out the superior position of the humble person who is a nudist. Inner values are always more important than external affectations. Thus they bear spiritual significance.

I would think that there are fewer people who commit crimes in the nude contrasted to those who are clothed.

So, we find out that clothing is not a moral thing, but more a material thing. Goods are not a provider of a good heart.

Yes, Jesus did say to spread the seeds of his word, but also said that if people reject the word, for his people to shake the dust off their feet and go elsewhere. This implies complete freedom on behalf of the person who is approached. They can simply reject the word and move on. Also, they can listen and see the merits of Christianity that is presented in a rational and intelligent way.

It relates to the parable of the seeds being planted in different types of ground. The fertile soil will make the seed grow and make it fruitful. Other types of soil will cause the seed to die. So, we already have a known result to some degree, and thus there is no reason to try to hogtie someone and prosletyze him/here with militancy. No need for it at all.

Just my two cents worth.

"Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his (and her) conduct."
Thomas Jefferson

To slick; in my experience very few offer Sunday service on the grounds. At Whispering Pines resort in NC, a minister comes every Sunday on his motorcycle. They have a small chapel; people sing; have a homily of sorts; probably no more than half hour. Also, there used to be a Christian nudist resort in NH. I don't know if it still exists.
