Sorry about the texting language in here. I originally sent this in a venting channel in a Discord server that I am a member of.
I don't know why my parents have a problem with me being naked in my own room. Many types of clothes are not friendly to how I process senses such as touch. Also, in the Summer, I tend to overheat quite easily (I live in South Carolina, go figure). It feels like there are rashes in my armpits, but it's just because my sense of touch is registering my shirt as such, and I am not even allergic to the material. I grew up in a religious household, and I have decided (completely by myself, my parents respect me and my siblings' free will) to give my life to Christ, and I have even took my second communion yesterday, and am now thinking of getting baptized.
I say this because I think they don't let me go nude in my own room because of religious reasons, despite the bible having nothing to say against nudity unless the nudity is intended for sexually immoral purposes. I don't know why a lot of religious people call non-sexual nudity a sin. It is natural, and how god made us. Also, Jesus was born naked, only had a thin cloth on while being crucified, and exited his tomb naked.
So, what is the problem of being naked? I don't even feel embarrassed whenever I am naked, not even when my parents have walked in on me naked. I've only covered myself up quickly with a blanket or something whenever they've walked in on me while naked just because they wouldn't want to see that. IDK what their problem is with me being naked, since I do not have any sexual intentions whenever I do get the chance to get naked and do things I'd normally do in my room if I weren't naked (playing videgames on my Nintendo 2DS, reading, messing around with my Nerf guns, listening to music, drawing, and writing). I don't even touch myself, since that counts as sex, and sex is a sin.
They enter my room even though I don't give them any indication as to if I have permission to enter or not. They don't straight-up BARGE into my room, though. They would literally knock on my door, and I'd say "what," NOT anything I that would lead up the word, "in," and then they would open the door and enter, despite not saying if they have permission to come in or not. Or I don't say anything at all after, like, 10-15 seconds after they knock, and they just open the door without, you know, trying again.
And, if I don't respond that time and the next time they knock after that, they might as well leave me be entirely. I shouldn't have to verbalize if they can come in or not. It should honestly be black and white to everybody! What doesn’t mean, "You are free to enter now." It just simply means that I am capable of listening to what you have to say to me or answering your questions if you talk loudly enough for me to actually hear them through the door (they don't even have to actually go much louder than their normal talking voice at all). If my parents do not have my explicit permission to open my door, they do not have permission to open my door at all.
From how I perceive things, nudity is not a sin if is not intended to be for sexually immoral purposes, such as prostitution, adultery, , masturbation, or sex outside of marriage. Does anybody have any advice on what to tell them to convince them about this if I need to? And, no. I don't want to settle with just wearing a pair of underwear, either. I am sometimes uncomfortable in underwear, too.
It feels like there is just too much weight on my body all the time. Feels like being in a trap constantly with no escape. Also, the frikin' seams just bother me. Also, as I said before, I live in South Carolina, where it can get up to 100°F during the summer, and I overheat easily, so this is the season that makes me want to be naked in my own room the most. Plus my room has a ceiling fan I can use in conjunction with being naked in there during the summer.
It also seems like my sense of touch is getting more sensitive as I get older (I am almost 16). I shouldn't have to fear going through sensory overload in my own room. I should be able to relax in my room. Sometimes, I even feel like I am under pressure even in light and loose-fitting clothing.
I go nude in my room on a regular basis and haven't told my parents yet in case they nagged me to stop doing it. How can I convince my parents that I like to be naked in my own room for a good reason, and that not all nudity is sinful?
Also, is it okay for Christians to be nudists/naturalists? I am asking this because I want to adopt a naturalist lifestyle completely when I get my own place. As I said, I literally don't care if somebody sees me naked, and only cover up when I am naked in my own room, and only when somebody that I know is not comfortable with seeing naked people walks in. I should be able to relax in my own room however I want as long as I am not doing anything sinful.
I do not think nudity, in of itself, is sinful. I even think that a boyfriend and a girlfriend can be naked around each other as long as they are not having sex.
Also, random mini-rant, but still relevant: It really annoys me when that small minority of the Christian community says, "but God didn't design us to be naked." Apparently those people think they came out of the womb fully-clothed. God did not design any living being he created to have clothes on all the time. Also, my mom told me something like this before: "People who live in a civilized society don't go around naked all the time?" But then there is modern-day Greece, whose government allows public naturalism pretty much everywhere (though workplaces or being in the middle of military training are exceptions, and schools might be an exception).
Anyways, feel free to give me advice and articles that I'll just bookmark. I'll show my parents the articles in case they think that this is a problem or something. I would just like these questions answered by somebody who can fully understand how I think.
