What Would Jesus Say About Miss California's Nudie Photos?

In recent weeks, I have been blogging about Miss California and the response from readers has enticed many a heated debate. It seems that no matter where one stands on the issue of same-sex marriage, they stand firm with their convictions and the discussions in the comment sections have been fascinating and thought-provoking. Thanks to all who are a part. This morning, I wanted to update with the newest saga in the Miss California story. It appears that this time, she might have some 'splaining to do to the Big Guy. I believe that posing for nude photos might constitute a sin in the Sin Handbook, eh? A series of topless photos of Miss C were recently released on the internet. While I certainly do not think that there is anything wrong with posing topless or nude and is a personal choice for each model, it does not seem to mesh with Carrie Prejean's "living life according to the Bible" platform that she has recently been sharing with the country.

Alicia Jacobs, an entertainment reporter at KVBC in Las Vegas, has seen all six of the racy photos of Prejean from this spread and said this morning on the Today Show, that some of the others are "more revealing than the one shown."

Prejean's has issued a response to the surfaced photos:

“I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others’ opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks.”

I am curious how the National Organization for Marriage (Prejean is a spokesperson for their new "No Offense" campaign) feels about these photos and if this is the image they want associated with their organization.  What do YOU think about this newest development?
