What's Wrong with Public Nudity?

If "nudity" as a whole was the problem then god would have clothed the animals differently, of this was really true, however it is not. The nudity of Adam and Eve, and for that matter mankind was the separation of the fellowship they had with God and His nature which had to do with his "Glory." What man had before the fall was the "covering of the Glory of God" just as Moshe "glowed" and his face shined Exodus 34:29,30,33. The Kavod, the Glory of God shown from Moshe' Face and in verse 33 he veiled it. It was this glory that man was clothed in not that his body was naked. When man sinned, and at the moment this happened this "covering" was removed. God makes the point when he rebukes Adam's attempt to "cover-up" by pointing out "Did you eat

Beast or animals are not Fallen, only mankind. As you said, we are not living in a "Edenic State." We live in a world which by our own actions was brought into a state of Sin. Animals which were used as a "covering" or as a sacrifice, were and are innocent, but was subjected as an offering a sacrifice by giving up their lives or their blood as a temporary covering for sin. They did not "Sin," they did not "Eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but scripture declares that the "earth, and all that inhabits it was subjected to sin and corruption through the actions of Man. In fact the Word declares that the "World" groans under it's subjection it has had to endure due to man's sins.

And if we were in an edenic state it wouldn't matter and so what. Fallen men and fallen beasts are in view here.

what I forbade you to eat? The nudity was the removal of Adam's true covering the presence of God resting on him, by Adam and Eve's lame attempt to cover it up. The animals that God killed and used their skins was the first application of Kaphar i.e. Atonement. So the covering as Dennis put it has nothing to do with "elevating us above the statue of animals." Believe me when I say this: "An A$$ knows who His God is rather than mankind," Numbers 22:23-ff. If his evaluation about Holy and Profane and his application was close the issue is "What are we clothed in" Sin or God? If anything what man "flaunts" by his public display is his rejection that he is living in a "fallen state" and calling his display acceptable.
If you want to understand Leftism -- and everyone needs to because it has been the most dynamic religion of the last one hundred years -- one good place to start is with San Francisco.

Or perhaps more precisely -- with nudity.

And even more precisely -- with public nudity.

Last month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted by the barest (pun not intended) margin -- 6 to 5 -- to ban public nudity. By public nudity, the law refers only to displaying one's genitals in public. San Francisco women are still free to walk around topless. But that is not unique...
