 Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:48 am Post subject: Why do men have nipples? |
 |
|
If God created us, then why do men have nipples? That's a pretty bad mistake, wouldn't you say?
And while we're on the subject, if God created man in His image, then does that mean God has nipples, too?
I assert that the Bible is not saying that God is a bipedal being with two eyes and ears and nostrils... When it talks about creating man in His image, what it really means is that He gave us the power of reason and logic. It is NOT talking about superficialities such as physical appearance.

God gave man nipples, so that as it strikes god's fancy He can inflict them with involuntary lactation.
Basically, the nipples are there so He has access to more means of testing/torturing His puppets/creations.

I thought that this was the reason given by religious people (in pretty much every different religion) for why God created women...

To remind us of where Eve came from.

Thanks Joman. That clears it all up! 
Are you saying that Adam didn't have nipples UNTIL AFTER God created Eve? I'd love to see some scriptural support for this...

Variation on a theme, P.
However I would assert that the first man, Adam, didn't have a belly button.

An image is a representation.

Maybe God just felt they added an asthetic value...

Now you're accusing God of having bad taste...

Actually, I commend Joman for his answer! The best one given yet!  And possibly the most truthful, too.

Both men and women's do in unfortunate special cases

But he said that it was to remind us where Eve came from! That answer didn't even make sense!
