Heh, here is a good one for you, what changed between say years 0-maybe 
50 AD when people where *required* to be baptized in the nude, and like 
51+ AD, when all of the sudden just being *seen* nude was a horrible 
sin? Or, more silly, the days of the Victorian era, where so much as 
showing an ankle as cause for cries of "slut!", and you couldn't swim in 
a lake without being dresses almost as insanely as many Arab women are 
required to be, never mind be baptised?

Surely, Jesus wouldn't have made the mistake of allowing people to be 
baptized in the nude, if nudity was wrong, yet, some people, like 
Texans, are so scared of it that they will pass laws, based on their 
religion, to *prevent* the existence of nudist organizations, never mind 
anything else, based on it being sinful.

Just wondering. Because, last I checked, Jesus didn't show up in the 
last 2000 years since he supposedly died to tell people that 90% of the 
crap we consider sins, dangerous and unacceptable, according to some 
imaginary and undefendable reading of the Bible, where also all wrong. 
Why are we not calling James the whatever number he was, the new 
"messiah", because he rewrote the Bible to correct all the inadequacies 
in language and understanding that got "fixed" so well by him that its 
the #1 version in publication today? And if its wrong, which given James 
rewrote much of it to allow him to indulge his own sins, which one of 
them is right, and why would your god let that one become the most well 
known and important one?

I doubt you can explain that any more than anything else, other than to 
just babble about how its right, because its what you think is right. 
Which, as we have pointed out, is hubris, no matter how you try to claim 
otherwise.
