A group of Dutch nudists called off a special church service to be held in a nudist park after receiving threats, a spokesman for the group said Friday.

In June, the Christian Gan Eden nudists held their first church service at the Flevo-Natuur nudist park in Zeewolde in the eastern Netherlands and planned to hold a second service.

However, the group was hit by numerous emails and phone calls, many of them threatening, the Gan Eden spokesman said. The church service was called off and the group shut its website down.

´I do not understand the fuss,´ the spokesman said. ´We are just a group of Christians who want to have our own church service.´

This is funny...

If you want to get everything all at once, this is usually what happens...

Everything starts with individualism; the more of it the better it gets; that a person can do whatever he/she wants unless he/she directly harms others becomes the norm at the expense of so many indirect harms potentially possible like in the case of regulations governing the use of narcotics in Holland.

People from the same country with swollen egos about what they are authorized to do, see nothing wrong in belittling Muslims with cartoons depicting their prophet as a terrorist. In my opinion this and many other such acts are merely acts of provocation designed to create friction between cultures and it serves the further alienation of cultures and belief systems from one another.

Nudists wishing to hold their own religious community and to maintain their church services is one such example. Nudity by its very nature is an essential disregard of established cultural norms and it is an act of defiance. The reasoning works like this, we prefer to be nude because being nude is being more natural hence being close to God in other words we are entitled to forming our own church too. We believe in the virtues of nudity and we do not care how others regard us. We would like to have the best of both worlds.

One would say, hey come on, cut the dramatics and wear those bloody garments to the church just on Sundays.

Indeed funny, when actually he was one. He organized about 70 military actions slaughtering villages after villages. The wars he started up are still carried out till today.

Well, I am sure you have had a deep impact on some 2 billion Muslims who regard that person as their pioneer. I guess they feel devastated now. What do you suggest us to get rid of this warlike race? Should we spit them in the face? Steal their oil? Establish multi-million dollar partnerships with them? We have enough radical politicians ruining peace around the world already...

 Trudy,mods and admins cant modify posts.

Only members can do it

I have deleted the picture because you asked me to, though I still find that you are overreacting. There was nothing wrong with that picture. When deleted I added a sarcastic comment saying something like ´picture deleted on request of a very shocked mod´. I did NOT delete that comment myself and now it is gone. If you mods and admins can´t modify than tlc is haunted.

Well you can add the link to it and who want to open it,is free to do it,the article is subject is clear ,so the pictures will be expected there too.

As for modifying...i as mod can only modify my own post,but other´s...i cant do it.

Feel free to modify your post and add the sarcastic comment you want !

I am surprised to hear that Mods cannot modify posts as I remember many times that when a post was removed, it was also removed from the "quoted" replies (which requires modifying the post)
