Dutch Christians cancel naked service
The Gan Eden, or Garden of Eden, group said their first nude church service, presided over in June by a clothed priest in the town of Zeewolde, led to a flurry of threatening phone calls and e-mails from Christians who were outraged by their actions, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
"I don't understand what all the fuss is about," a Gan Eden spokesman said. "We are just a group of Christians and we want to hold a church service."
The group said the publicity generated by June's nude church service forced them to close down their Web site.
"Because of the negative publicity and the lurid curses in the guest book we have been obliged to close the site temporarily," a message on the Web site reads. "It is a problem that this proves be necessary in a country which calls itself tolerant."

clothed by God
After the fall into sin, God graciously covered our naked parents Adam adn Eve. Covered by the skin of animals, through the shedding of blood.
These supposed "Christians" fail to admit to the lust of our flesh, and we all need desperately to be covered by the blood of Christ for the remission of our sins.

I suppose they are not familiar with the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden where they were naked until they sinned. I guess these people don't even know the Bible and just want to get attention.
