How about Diogenes? Alternatively, Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Originally posted by daniel58 Some people say God ordered him to preach to people nude (as you said) for 3 years, others say 3 days ans that's what I agree with.
Does the length of time really matter that much?
If anyone did that today, he'd be called a crackpot. Especially by Christians.
