If God is good, and that means he has no shame and all, then why is he always pictured with clothes on?

Don’t mind me; I’m just trolling, I guess.

But I was viewing some old Oglaf (man, I love that webcomic!) and that occurred to me as I saw this one for the first time.

If Adam and Eve had to cover themselves because of the wickedness they developed from eating of the Tree of Knowledge or whatever – and became sinful – and if God is pure and without shame, then why is God always pictured (and also in all other religions besides Christianity that I’ve ever superficially studied) clothed?

Addendum: Come to think of it, is the Flying Spaghetti Monster the first naked god that you’ve ever seen depicted?

Second Addendum: Can you imagine the riots if Muhammed were depicted naked in Oglath or other comics?

Third Addendum: How can I contact the writers of Oglath to suggest the Second Addendum?
