Well, who else created sex and sexuality?  This is the beef that I have with
some of the Christian nudists, who actually see sex as being 'wrong'.

If they believe sex to be wrong, then they should read Genesis and listen to
what their God commanded in Genesis 1: 27-28.  It doesn't even have to take
a non-Christian or an non-nudist atheist to point it out to them (speaking
of which the Positive Atheism site just *loves* to make fun of Christian
nudists!)

It's sexual lust that is a sin.  Jesus recommended mutilation as opposed to
looking lustfully at strange women.  I am a nudist who believes that sex and
sexuality *is* a natural and normal part of life.  It is a gift from God.
The problem is that this gift has been abused and distorted throughout the
ages.

I have difficulty understanding your last comment: do you imply it before
there was sexual knowledge?

It's more of being naked but not being sexually obvious about it.  Nudists
don't want a world free from sex, they just want a world where one can be
openly naked and keep sexual behaviour for appropriate times and places,
just the same as 'textile' human beings believe.
