But what if he's hung like a mule? Then did a great supernatural donkey create him? Or could it be the IPU at work?

Since my God re-incarnates, we don't really die.

It is merely the illusion of death akin to what Buddha said

Okay, then to rephrase, your god thinks it's funny to create an organ which has a decent chance of making you suffer in agonizing pain?

Either way, your god doesn't seem to fit your little 'love and laughter' tagline.

But I don't know why it was created thusly. Overall it must exist for something, if it exists it must be "Good"

Pain is an illusion as well.

Either way, your god doesn't seem to fit your little 'love and laughter' tagline.

No Pleasure without pain
No Laughter without tears

Which would you rather have:

Love or Hate?

Laughter or crying?

All of them are of God.

It says god created man in his image.... but isn't god supposed to be a supernatural being without form? How can he have an 'image' when he can be whatever he wants?

love to hear a xtian point of veiw on this.

It refers to our personality, morality and spirituality. We are distinct from all other creatures on Earth in those regards.

Because it isn't totally useless, it does serve a purpose.

Magus, you've already been corrected on that point on the Creavolution forum. To wit: the appendix is vestigial not because it is totally useless, but because it is not as important as it once was (in apes) and because it can be removed to no ill-effect.

All Things Dull and Ugly

All things dull and ugly, all creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty, the Lord God made the lot!

Each little snake that poisons, each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom, He made their horrid wings!

All things sick and cancerous, all evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous, the Lord God made them all!

Each nasty little hornet, each beastly little squid,
Who made the spiky urchin? Who made the shark? He did!

All things scabbed and ulcerous, all pox both great and small.
Putrid, foul and gangrenous, The Lord God made them all.

AAAaaaaaaaaaaMMMMmmmeeeeen!

Doesn't matter, it still has a purpose. And no, sorry that article never mentioned apes.

So God is a corrupt, immoral creature with a sin nature that generates an irresistable desire to do evil, and therefore deserving only of eternal suffering in Hell, like you often claim we Humans are?

But it does mention using the appendix as spare parts in replacement surgery.

God: I'll put this organ in man to kill him for 6,000 years until he learns to cut it out and use it as a sphincter.
