    It’ll never stop being funny to me that Adam and Eve were in paradise where there was no such thing as shame yet they still wore big leaves on their privates because… Reasons.

    That is, of course, funny only if these bronze age fairy tales were true to begin with, it’s all badly written fiction and I would be so happy of people just could get over themselves and stop believing in shit that 5 year olds already know to be false.

      As I recall, they were actually naked and didn’t feel the need to cover themselves until after eating from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”.

      Thanks to that stupid fucking story and all the others, many cultures heavily influenced by Christian mythology feel the need to add those leaves because they can’t handle nudity.
