How do you think that naturist camps are "inappropriate" from a Christian perspective? Jesus never had any problem with it, and neither should any of his followers.
How do you know that Jesus never had a problem with it? I dont think He ever talked about nudism or had an encounter with nudists. He never taught about concaine abuse or caffine addiction either, but it doesnt make those things right. Arguements from silence are often very weak.
The inappropiateness of public nudism is not down to the sexual perversion of those who practice nudism. I genuinely believe that nudists desire the liberation of being clothes free rather than sexual gratification. But even the least sexual of people will open themselves to a stronger possibility of sexual temptation in a nude enviroment. (remember that lust itself is adultury and not just wrong sexual activity) They also open themselves and others to potential embarrasing situations. (for example people might become paranoid about how their body parts compare to that of other people)
You seem to have a very Victorian outlook on the human form.
Not at all! In fact I'm shocked that someone thinks of me of prudish for feeling uncomfortable with nudism. I know far more liberal people than me who dont personally agree with nudism. You will argue that this is due to social conditioning, but I dont think it is.
I believe the human form is very beautiful (God designed it) and will even concede that God probably created people to live in the nude. (i.e Adam and Eve) This is why being naked feels so naturally, simply put it is natural! However there was an incident known as 'The Fall', this is when Gods creation became messed up and many things had to change. For example I dont think God originally planned for us to hunt and eat animals, yet after the fall God tells us to do so. War and violence was not something that God intended for humanity, yet with the Hebrews God built armies and commanded them into battle. These changes came about after the fall not because God had changed, but because the world had become corrupted. Things had to be done differently now because the world had changed.
For me there is a very good reason why the 'private parts' are called 'private'. Its not because they are ugly or evil, but because they should only be shared with someone we have great intimancy with. (i.e husband/wife and God) In many ways my belief that nudity should only be shared between a married couple actually places a higher (not a lower) value on the human body. This is because I am saying that the private regions are so personal that they should only be shared with people who are very special to us.
Nudist camps are like Christmas trees that have unwrapped presents placed underneath them at the start of December. Christmas Day 'unwrapping' in that case loses its magic and excitement because everyone has known all along what they are going to get. However wrapped presents that are opened on Christmas day by the right person are very special and exciting.
You will probably point out the incident of king David worshipping God in the nude. We must bear-in-mind that his intention was to dance for God naked on his own, not in public. God doesnt have a problem with nudity because a)He already knows what we look like b) He cannot be tempted
