Both explain *why* people wear clothing, but neither explain why we *must.*
I see two differences here, that don't sit well with me. Firstly, the religious aspect. I do not care for people exercising control over others based upon texts written by ignorant men decades ago. Secondly, I have at least the opportunity to dress (as long as I do dress) in whatever clothes I like. Black habits with only slit for the eyes for every woman seems too extreme for me, especially in 40o C.
Is mandatory clothing a stupid thing? Yes, people should be able to walk around naked if they'd want to (perhaps not sit anywhere they want to due to hygiene reasons) because being squeamish about being naked is a remnant from the middle ages. But would I personally walk around naked if I was allowed? No, I like being clothed.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
