Now the question of why we became "ashamed" of our nakedness is a whole other issue. Perhaps EvC's sociologists could fill us on this one.
The nakedness was actual AND also metaphorical. The prior covering was Gods Spirit. As an analogy, it is a known fact that Hi Voltage linemen have an action known as "powering up" where they actually have electricity surrounding them so as to minimize the shock effect of the hi voltage. Gods Spirit protected people from the metaphorical shock of interaction with other spirits. Of course I have absolutely no proof of this or any way of proving it. Just call it my 2 cents worth!
