Well, "sir," I guess the problem is that you failed to see the point of my previous response. As I said, God put clothes on Adam and Eve after they sinned, and it wasn't because they were cold. It was because of SIN. Prior to their doing so, they were innocent and naked, and all was good. But, once they sinned, their "eyes" were suddenly and immediately opened to sin and all its ramifications. They realized they were naked, and that it felt bad to be naked. They were ashamed. They hid from God. They needed clothes, not because they were cold and not because the body is no longer a beautiful "art form," but because they were naked and ashamed of themselves. It was suddenly wrong to stand around naked.

Even today, we (most of us, anyway) wear clothes, not only because we're cold or ugly. We do so because it's the right thing to do.

If you think that makes me an "ignorant prude," you can go "flog" yourself (verbally or not, I couldn't care less).
