CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hmm. Perhaps it can be argued that clothes are sinful. (Actually in some cases I thnik they are, or more properly the excesses involved are. Imelda's shoes come to mind).

Is nudity wrong? No. 
Is it sometimes used for wrong purposes? Of course; everything is.
Would I go nude in public? I have, at nude beaches and resorts; I visit these frequently, usually with my wife and kids. We go nude in our house most of the time during the warm half of the year. We would go nude elsewhere during hot weather if it were legally and socially acceptable.
And we are dedicated, involved Christians.

I don't think nudity it wrong in and of itself. I do think that nudity is wrong when it is presented in such a sexual manner that it causes others to lust.

Well, this is sometimes very easy. See, In America, many people are grossly obese. If they started going nude, people would be doing their very best to disassociate it with sex.
Then there's the better looking people who, were they to go nude, would reassociate it with sex.
No win situation. Whats wrong with sex anyway?

There's nothing wrong with sex. But people are afraid of nudity, and especially of children seeing nudity, because they associate it with sex - something that is still taboo. Why else would a glimpse of pubic hair give a film an immediate NC17 certificate? If nudity and sex were not associated, what reasons could there possibly be for shielding children's eyes from adult nudity?
As long as so many people see sex as dirty, wrong, dangerous, and subversive, association with it won't do nudity any favours.

Yes, I agree with you. I don't think either sex or nudity are bad.
But I don't see why nudity should be considered solely as a state in which one has sex or is sexually available.

I voted "yes," because I wasn't paying attention to my mouse.
So that should be a "no" vote.
Perhaps some mod with kindness can alter that?
And, to the question of "Would you walk around naked?" Yes. Time was that when I got home from work, I'd proceed to stripping. Now I've got a child, and it's not so much that it's odd, but that other, nosy people might think it odd and make strange assumptions. So I'm miserably clothed most of the time.
Interestingly, my daughter gets "naked time" about once a week, where she gets to run around in nothing but a diaper for a couple hours. She enjoys that immensely. Like her parents, she doesn't like clothes.

porn is different than nudity. porn generally references a sex act. nudity does not have to do this.
public nudity is wrong because generally it is illegal (i.e. you're supposed to obey the law)
nude art is just that... art
nudity is not wrong.
people make nudity wrong, nudity itself is not.

Nudity is not wrong, I don't object to public displays of flesh though I admit to inwardly shuddering when I see larger lasses walking around in tiny little skirts and tops which don't cover their stomachs. I think that if you're carrying a little extra poundage around your middle you really should cover it up. I object to porn but my objections are nothing to do with my faith and everything to do with being a woman.

Nudity is not inherently sinful but immodesty is. One needs to balance their desire to "get back to nature" with the impact it will have on others (wrong or right).
There are plenty of Christian naturists. Nowhere does the bible say that nudity generically is wrong. In fact, there are plenty of examples of public nudity that was both generally accepted and even commanded by God (Isaiah prophecying naked, for example). Most of the commentaries I have read claim that Jesus would have been baptised naked as was the custom at the time.

Incidentally, a word study on the Hebrew words that translate into the English "naked" and it's derivations and synonyms is quite fascinating. There are between 8 and 10 Hebrew words that get translated in this way, depending on the actual English version. Of note is the fact that the word translated naked in Genesis 2 ("they were naked and not ashamed") is a significantly different Hebrew word from the one translated naked in Genesis 3 ("then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked").
