Nudism

NUDISM


Society has been corrupted by the ruling class, they have set in place rules and regulations to restrict our natural urges and instincts, its time we rebelled and bare our bottoms for the world to see!

We came in to the world wearing only what the good lord gave us and we should be proud of it whether you’re big, small, or skinny.

In the religion of ‘ Nudism ‘ the source of authority is God … God is the creator of everything in the universe and even though he provided us with the intellectual capabilities ‘nudist’ believe that we should not totally neglect nature because it is part of who we are as human beings.

There are not really any rules to the’ nudism’ faith however to be a member of this religion all you need to do is bare everything for all for at least 4 hours a day weather that be popping down to the local café for morning breakfast or simply plumping your backside on the couch to watch a bit of Jeremy Kyle.

Its time for change …. And its time to bare all and shake what your muma gave you!

Food should be provided as a way of mingling with fellow members within the congregation
People should feel free to express their feelings with other people which may be able to help them grow
Backbiting rudeness and evil speaking is forbidden in this religion as it leads to conflict and revenge
People who attend this congregation are urge to help one who is in need of help this maybe people in the congregation or people within the community, as an act of service.
