Christian naturists believe that much of Christianity has misinterpreted the events regarding the Garden of Eden; particularly the aftermath of the fall of mankind. God could clearly see the sin that Adam and Eve had committed. For this reason alone, they were ashamed, and tried to hide it by covering their bodies with fig leaves. Adam and Eve were not motivated to dress by being able to see one another nude. When God subsequently clothed them with animal skins, He made no mandate for humans to be dressed in public, but left a reminder of the severe nature of sin requiring a blood sacrifice.
