What if I got so deep in the bible that I found out that its a sin to take a crap. If we lived our life according to "god's will" based on the bible..then we would all be walking around butt-naked eating plants and fruits.

I get the impression you've never read the Bible then. I've personally read the Bible through and through and all I get are messages of peace, love, and encouragement.
Read the Bible. There will be a test.

This is a fantastic question. I think that if you read and study the bible, you should do it with an open mind. You should remember that it was written a long time ago and that a lot of it is stories and parables. I don't think that God wants us to walk around butt naked. I think that He wants us to use our intelligence and consult with Him once in a while

The only reason you think it's weird that God wanted us all to walk around naked was because now you have shame of your naked body.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
-Genesis 3:7-11
That's all over and done with, though. God would not want you to walk around naked now because, now that the tree has been eaten from, it is a shameful thing to be naked. It wasn't shameful in the begining, though, when God wanted us to be naked.
All that God wants from us is good. Honestly, read it yourself. I suggest starting from Matthew, the first book of the New Testament (they say reading from front to back can be real boring and lose the point).

Darling., Question everything. Just because there are some words on paper that dictate what is "supposed" to be right and wrong according to that certain religion,. Doesnt make it true or right. Think for yourself, and live by the guidelines that make you happy.

It's only scary if you really believe it. Otherwise it's just really bad fiction written by lots of different people with different agendas over a long period of time, then modified, uber-translated and revised ad nauseum.
