and here a little quote/thought from myself,
much of the stigma the world has today about nudity, sex, romance, lust was begun by the church and the clergy more than a 1000 years ago, and then later again as power and economics required, since from time to time the church would loose it's power. That what is natural had been turned into acts of sin. Well, how else would you get people to follow and go to the church, if they had no sinned and needed to be cleared of their sins in order for a better life here after. And of course, to be cleared of your sins cost. A simple matter of economics and retaining control over the masses. If you have not sinned in your mind, then no need to pay the church to clean you of your sins. As far as nudity, today it is also a matter of economics, with the fashion industry, combined with the economic needs of the church. Can we create better than he who created us? Then how could one say that clothing is more beautiful than the body which it adorns?
Why aren't we born with clothes?
Clothing is exactly the opposite of purity of conscience, it is also besides protection against the elements, to adorn ourselves. Why else would you have a fashion industry if people didn't demand it.
