It was a long time ago in the Garden of Eden where it had happened.
A SEASON ONCE IN EDEN!! When I look back down in life’s memory And I thought of the Adam and Eve story I considered that man was clothed in glory But to the taste of a fruit man lost his clothes Shame stepped in, man sought leaves for cloth The sound of feet drove him to hide It was that season once in Eden Why life for us is, as it is It shouldn’t have happened, yet it did Man to live forever is still just a bid He was deceived by the evil one Then life for man was lost once He was beguiled by evil in disguise God went in the evening to reason, but…. It was that season once in Eden Why life for us is, as it is One is wise His name is God When you are sad He will be your Dad If you’ve done wrong don’t try to hide But, by His side run to abide By wisdom He re-clothed man The Lord used skin then to cover sin It was that season once in Eden Why life for us is, as it is.

Sexual behavior is, perhaps, the least understood of our natural heritage. It is the power of selection of mates (I purposely use plural here) that guarantees the perpetuation of lineage. This power of youthful strength was absolutely necessary in a very basic hunting and gathering society. Sometimes it was even worshiped. As strange as it may sound, sometimes the most virile were sacrificed to appease the gods.

Once men became older (and richer) they sought ways to curtail the power of youthful libido that undermined their waning power and control of the family, tribe, or village. One of the ways to do this was to cover up the obvious sources of attraction (the genitals). The biblical Garden of Eden story gives justice to this technique for controlling youth. It has worked so well, that millions continue to believe it as though it were "gospel."

Shame is man-made. In the beginning Adam and Eve did not even know this word. The world is the way it is because of how the human react to everything and brought shame into the world. If shame were not invented, everyone could be running around naked and it wouldn't even matter. However, we are all protected by God, because He is always watching over us, and protecting us.
