See aboriginal cultures who dont associate nudity with sex and had to be taught shame over it by missionaries.

So multiculturalism wasn't such a good idea for them?

More like the abrahamic religions views on sex and sexuality are bad for everyone.

If you want to walk around in a speedo go for it. I'd be careful which "neighborhood" you walk through as a practical matter however.

Huh.

Adam and Eve lost their spiritual clothing on their own.

Or maybe they just lost their ability to think innocently.

What if they ate the freewill apple in the Garden and it brought along a loss of innocence?

I think gaining clothing could be more freeing than losing it. I don't think primitive people are mentally freer than modern ones. A primitive person has a struggle to get and maintain the big 3 things: food, clothing and shelter.

At the very least people wearing clothes means people are getting better at obtaining things for themselves. This is where the human mind would start to depend on itself more and God less though it might have completely depended on Him before.

A state of freewill could equal an imbalance between knowledge and innocence. Now what caused the imbalance?

I think it's something like this.

Before Adam listened to that treacherous woman, he knew he was a spirit living in an animal body. So he knew he had clothes (his body). Then he ate from the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, where he could see evil too, thus confusing him. He then thought he was that body, and therefore needed clothes.

Anyway, walking around naked is a pretty bad idea, i agree. I mean, it gets cold outside, rapists left and right, no one wants to see ball sacks ect....

Then why does Jesus tell us to get our raiment from Him?

Hmm, as always, the book of revelation is pretty interesting. I am wearing a white garment (body) fwiw.
