This Church Allows Members Attend Service Nude Because 'Jesus Was Crucified Naked'

A church in the US state of Virginia, White Tail
Chapel, has taken the bizarre decision to allow its
congregation attend church services naked.

Cos
according to their leader, Pastor Allen Parker, the
clothing requirements of other churches were overly
'pretentious'. So he decided his own flock should be
free to forgo such materialism if they desire.


Pastor Allen claims that many of the most important
moments in the Bible happened while the
protagonists were nude, including Jesus' crucifixion
and resurrection.


Speaking to CNN, Mr Parker said:

'When he [Jesus] was born he was naked, when he
was crucified he was naked and when he arose he left
his clothes in the tomb and he was naked. If God
made us that way, how can that be wrong?'


Mr Parker is believed to have drawn at least some of
his opinions on nudity from the book of Genesis, in
which Adam and Eve were originally described as
'both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed'. It was only after sinfully eating forbidden
fruit from the Tree of Knowledge that Adam and
Even are said to have seen their nudity as shameful,
at which point they sowed fig leaves into loincloths.
Although the church allows worshipers to attend
services fully naked, many members decided they
would rather continue to attend fully clothed,
particularly when in mid-winter, while others opt to
just reveal their breasts or genitals.
