As a Christian nudist, I hit this brick wall a lot. While it is true that nudism is an attempt at breaking away the barriers of social status, race, color, age, and the like, it has become associated with swingers, child abusers, and other such sexual deviants. Nudism in it's purest form is not-sexual, nor is it harmful to families and children. However, it can quickly turn into a sexual perversion of itself without constant supervision. Nudists, therefore, must be constantly vigilant to prove that nudism is not a crime, and that illegal behavior is not tolerated at nudist venues.
Because of the misconceptions around nudity, and what the Bible meant when it said Adam and Eve saw that they were naked and were ashamed, it has become an "unspoken commandment" around the churches that "thou shalt not be naked", and there is a huge stigmata attached to anyone who espouses nudity. A Christian nudist, therefore, must be constantly vigilent to show that nudism is not a sin, nor an abomination before the Lord.
You, however, don't seem to be a nudist at all. Based on your comment, you do not like the sight of other naked persons in any shape for form (which is a cornerstone of nudism-that every BODY is acceptable), and you worry about the lust of the eyes (which brings us back to assuming that nudism is all about sex-again, nudism is nothing of the sort). Your last comment is confusing. Why are there special venues for Christian nudists? Because there is strength in numbers, and to be able to fellowship with believers who share a common interest in nudism. Or are you asking why there are Christian nudists? Again, a Christian nudist is someone who has recognized the truth, that nudity is not a sin, it is, in fact, the original way God created us, and the way in which we are all born. Therefore, it is possible to be both a Christian and a nudist without conflict of the soul. I hope I have answered your question, and would recommend that you search deep inside yourself to discover why you only look upon the outward appearance (the body) instead of on the soul (the genuine person beneath it all). Thanks for listening.
