For some reason god makes a pretty big deal of nudity. In fact, he brings up the issue at the very outset of the Bible, devoting a whole verse to it.
Genesis 2:25 (NLT)
25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.
Okay, but so what? It appears to be no bigger of a deal than saying
Now the man and his wife both pooped, but they felt no shame.
As it turns out this is just a set-up for what follows. Seems this man and his wife crossed god, and were disciplined in part by the infliction of shame for being nude.
Genesis 3:6-7 (NLT)
6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
So my question is, what is it in the nature of nudity that allows it to be regarded as absolutely shameless in one arena of humanity, but is convertible to one of shame in another arena?
