Just because the packaging has changed today, it doesn't mean people in olden days were primitive stone-age dwellers. More importantly, there is a difference between physical cleanliness and ritual/spiritual cleanliness. e.g. you can take a bath to get physically clean, but if you then touch a menstruating woman, you become ritually unclean. | |
