Adam and Eve walked around naked and talked to God regularly in their nudity. It wasn't until the devil (snake) convinced them to eat of the tree of knowledge that they felt shame about their nudity. That's what tipped God off to their apple-eating. He called them and they grabbed some leaves to cover themselves up before he appeared. So God was like, "WTF?"

Nudity in itself is not a sin. And since Eve was officially Adam's wife in Eden, I'm assuming that sex without creating children is also not a sin. It was only God's wrath when he found out that they wanted to know everything he did that caused there to be categories of "sins" later on. The original sin is wanting to be equal to God in knowledge.

Now, if you would believe in a God who was happy only as long as he could play house with his little created creatures, but who threw a tantrum when he found out they had bigger ambitions, then go ahead. I think, if it's true, then God really isn't that smart to begin with and it was a failed experiment. So God must be an alien race from somewhere who is a more powerful being than us, but isn't neccessarily THE GOD. But of course, I think it's far more likely that there is no one supreme being at all. I can make my own decisions about morality without a bunch of saboteur politicians (the Catholic Church) telling me what to think.
