God doesn’t mind if you go naked on the beach — because you’re showing off His handiwork, not simply displaying your shortcomings, according to a Christian naturist.

After 20 years preaching the gospel of nudity, the author of skinny-dipping guidebooks, coloring books and take-it-all-off “naturist” magazines is using an old ally in his bid to spread the naked truth — the Bible.
