Knowledge of good and evil = ashamed of being naked

[_sock puppet]

According to Genesis, before eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve were naked but did not realize it and were not ashamed.

Only upon obtaining that knowledge, did Adam and Eve realize they were naked and make aprons of fig leaves to cover their nakedness, so that God would not see their nakedness.

This suggests that knowledge of good and evil is connected to a knowledge of the concept of nakedness, and shame, and wanting to cover up one's genitals so others cannot seem them.

Is nakedness evil?

[_Hades]

Yes don't let others see your genitals. Although it does seem to be in vogue these days to take pictures of your genitals and text them to others, but beware, this could lead to scandal.

[_DarkHelmet]

If God wanted us to be naked we would have been born naked.

Maybe the knowledge of good and evil from Adam and Eve having eaten the fruit has been genetically lost through the generations, and the current young generation is the first one from which it is truly lacking. Hopefully it won't be a recessive gene that occasionally appears in some prudish humans of future generations.

It is evil to see the female nipple but not evil to see the male nipple.

It is evil to see the female nipple but not evil to see the male nipple.

Even Adam and Eve did not learn that from eating the fruit. Eve made an apron of fig leaves, not an entire frock.

Clothes became necessary as Man migrated to the colder north. That is why Odin demanded that the Valkyries wear at least as much as the Swedish Bikini Team.

The interesting aspect that most people miss in regards to Eve covering up with an apron of leaves is that she would then still be topless.

Elohim and Jehovah were hatin' on Adam's endowment. They shamed him into covering up. They forced him to fashion together some animal skins (because fig leaves easily fell apart), and cover up his ungodly genitalia.
