[If Adam and Eve stoped being naked...why are some people still naked today?]
No. It only proves that they are ignorant and unlearned where God's Word is concerned. It doesn't make them bad people; it only makes them a people in need of hearing God's Word and being taught respectfully and properly about why clothing became necessary.

Why clothing's necessary? I'm going with, "because when it's cold, I don't want my manly bits freezing off." Somehow, though, I don't think that's the reason you'd give.
Adam and Eve's nudity was a symbol of their innocence, they knew no evil, and had no shame. So you might say that these so called "naked people" are in fact, more righteous than you.
Clothes getting itchy yet?
Clothing is only necessary when it's cold out, but then we also realized it was a countermeasure against less attractive people.
Society works in mysterious ways, and is a jerk.
God's Word and being taught respectfully and properly about why clothing became necessary.
citation, please. oh, wait, it goes against common sense.
Where's that story, again, that ends with the native who says to the missionary something along the lines of "Why did you teach me about sin?" because he was much better off ignorant?

Don't forget pockets. I couldn't live without pockets.
..."being taught respectfully and properly about why clothing became necessary."
-Is this because boobs, willies, vaginas and bums are teh debbil?
Okay, the actual context of the old testament is that clothes are bad because that was the outcome of pissing god off.
But if you are trying to use that OBVIOUSLY mythic story to stop the nudists then shame on you. lets look at the story:
God creates man without the knowledge of good and evil and then tells them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Unbeknownst to adam and eve, they did not realize that disobeying god was evil because god decided to put that knowledge inside of a fruit instead of his human creations. So when adam and eve came across lucifer it was no contest considering that God created satan with the knowledge of good and evil and the ability to smooth talk naked women into eating forbiden fruit. So god gets pissed at them for commiting the evil act of learning the knowledge between good and evil...
Eve was set up and Adam was just a dumb pawn doing what that cute Eve was doing like most infatuated men do when they are hungr and horny at the same time..hell, there wasnt any beer or sunday footbal because otherwise Adam would have ignored eve and her apples.
So...
Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge.
You now want to teach that to naked people.
...and you think that nudists are ignorant?
C'mere, bigvol, I got a secret to share ...
I'll whisper, honest, I won't shout, promise ...
Ready? Here we go, bigvol ...
[whispers]We're all naked under our clothes.
[nods sagely]
So how does that fit into your analogy about hearing God's Word?
"As a general thing, naked people tend to be more polite."
--[A wise man whose name I forgot]
Clothing is necessary A) because of climate, B) to hide womanly beauty from hardcore Abrahamic males. I guess their god neglected to teach them self-control or chivalry or even basic honor.
Clothing is only "necessary" as a means of shielding one's body from the elements, such as rain or snow, and keeping warm in cold places. It is not "necessary" to hide the human body, and I find it far more comfortable to hang around (my room, at least!) naked. There is no ignorance of "Gawd's Werd", simply a matter of comfort.
We were born naked.
Get over it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
