I don’t understand why anyone is bothered by nudity in 99% of instances.

Do you know any women? Any women who are sick of the endless bombardment of naked or essentially naked women in all different circumstances over and over and over, no matter if there’s any reason for it or not? Any women who are sick of the constant objectification of women and mistreatment of women?

I do.

Bring balance to the buff. Show more naked men.

Agreed.

"And at the end of the day, our bodies are objects. . . . We’re just big bags of flesh and blood and meat and organs that God gives us to drive around.”

Church is not required

I’m pretty sure the religions I’m thinking of disagree.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say church is required.

I think it does. I forget where the verse is, but I recall somewhere it saying “do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together.” Seems to imply some sort of congregational fellowship os required, even if the traditional “church” setting is not.

The wiki pages for fundamentalism and evangelicalism. It said that the defining traits are belief in the virgin birth and the resurrection of Christ, which if you don’t believe in I’m hard pressed to find where the Christianity lies.

I think DE is more referring to the total Biblical inerrancy (literalism), dispensationalism, and general social conservativism mentioned on the page for fundamentalism.

An article on hyperbolic language in the Bible:

“How Hell Became Eternal”, from the same site:

Haven’t yet read the second one, but the first one mentioning Jonah was great because, not too long ago, a teacher at church told me “to disbelieve that Jonah was truly swallowed by a literal fish is to reject the possibility of any and all supernatural events in the Bible.”
