Why did god put the prostate within finger reach in the male ass?

[Shepherd 2]

God knew what God was doing.
It is obvious to God,
it may not be so obvious to us as gay men.
It may be a small thought to twist this
to being about gay men.
Shep+

 

[Shepherd 2]

Oh I see, he created them mickey & mickey.
Very interesting.
Actually it is self evident that God was a practical being.
Why have the prostate deliver its goods long distance
from somewhere else in the body,
and I doubt he was thinking a lot about sex or sexuality
when he was creating the order of beings.
But if that is what people like to believe
they will probably give themselves space to believe it.
Shep+

Out of control desires are sinful within the Abrahamic faiths./QUOTE]

Who said anything about "out of control"? When I fuck my boyfriend's ass, it's VERY controlled. HE may lose control, in fact that's the point, but it's not the desire that's out of control.

All pleasure is sinful in certain relatively barbaric forms of Christianity. (I'm not going to speak about Islam, because I'm not sure what their take on pleasure is.) It is NOT in Judaism.

Religions where enjoyment is intrinsically sinful suck out loud, and they can bite my hairy faggot ass.

 

[aragorn_p25]

Religious people think that their idea of "God" explains so much, instead it creates an infinity of questions. Give it a rest, finally! God doesn't exist. Once you accept this, almost all those questions find true answers.

 

[Críostóir]

What victimization card? Any religion where enjoyment is intrinsically sinful can bite my ass. What's victimy about that?

If there were an almighty god I suggest it could have not plan for anything. A god who was omnipotent, omnipresent and for whom time was a non-event would need no plan, indeed could not plan, for all possible points of time are in this big god now and now and now .. in this big god there is no past no future .. only the big now
If men didn't have a prostate we would be arguing just a fruitlessly about some other part of our anatomy

I have read some jewish writers on the subject of being co-creators with god .. . and maybe there is something in this? . . we create pleasure out of lumps of flesh .. and as we do god is expanded from everything to more .. and god groans .. yes yes yes

Why did God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Why did God create a rock which Cain could use to kill Abel? Why did God put the prostate within finger reach in the male ass?

There are a lot of confusing things about God. I recently read this, which gave me a little understanding... Why did God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden?

I think if you read in regards to any of those questions, it kind of makes sense. Any thoughts?

 

[Benvolio]

The correct answer to the question is "Why not? It had to go somewhere."

Actually, the correct answer is - he didn't. It's placement is the result of millions of years of evolution.

My first thought reading that - why would anyone want to subscribe to a belief system with teachings saying that you are born defective and are in need of fixing?

As the post by unamphibious illustrates, the belief system includes an element of choice.

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

I've often marvelled at the illogic of entrapment represented by the myth of the tree in Eden. The answer at that web site was in no way convincing. First of all, obedience is not a very great value worth cultivating unless you're a dictator in search of unquestioning slaves. Secondly, if it is the fruit of knowledge that provides the insight to distinguish right from wrong actions, then by definition one cannot distinguish right from wrong until one has tasted knowledge. The approach of this mythical god is like teaching an infant to fear the stove by leaving the burner on and letting the child crawl along the counter top until he finally touches the stove. Not a brilliant or respectful way to engage the naïve. My ordinary mortal mom did a better job. But then to punish them as sinners! What chutzpah! At the very least this so-called god is not acquainted with the concept of mens rea and its applicability to a just conviction.

Finally, if we are meant to learn from a story, instead of having to endure the torment of sinning by entrapment and then being cast out of paradise completely flabbergasted as to the reasons why, then you might think any god worthy of the name would have just explained the principle to Adam and Rib Wife by way of a story as was supposedly done for us. He could have spared them the grief. To not have done so lacks a rather necessary compassion to responsibly exercise divinity.

Serious theological question: Why did god put the prostate within finger reach in the male ass?

I see only one possible explanation: god wanted to enable guys to pleasure other guys dicks anally.

I can't answer that question since I don't believe in god. But I do enjoy my prostate very much.

 

[mbamike]

Well, the obvious answer is that He wanted us to have anal sex. It is man-made religion that screwed everything up.

 

[Ambrocious]

I didn't read it all but I would assume he put it there so that when we are taking a crap it wasn't COMPLETELY uncomfortable for us.

 

[FirmaFan]

Are you absolutely sure of your answer?

"Absolute" is meaningless. In the strictest definition of the term, one can not be "absolutely sure" about anything. Knowledge and certainty is most definitely limited, but we can non-the-less arrive at reason and evidence based conclusions that allow us to assert knowledge of a certain fact, pending further evidence that allows us to either confirm, modify, or reject current knowledge. With that in mind, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that the biology of humans, as well as the biology of all life on this planet, is the result of changes in the frequency of genetic alleles over time - which we call "evolution".

 

[FirmaFan]

There is only one area of Evolution that I cannot, and will not believe, and that concerns Man evolving from Apes. Therefore, Man has the same Human prostate gland since the dawn of Creation.

What you refuse to believe is your own misconception about what the theory of evolution says about the relationship between man and the other great apes. Homo sapiens (aka "man") share common ancestry with the other great ape members (chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan). We are not "from" apes, we ARE apes, and the other members of the great ape family are our taxonomic cousins. We our not "from" them, we share common ancestry - if the taxonomic classification of our species offends you, I'm sorry, but it is reality.

Earlier, I spoke of evidence, so, allow me to share with you one such piece of evidence. Human beings require vitamin-C as part of out diet. Without it, we see conditions such as scurvy develop. But humans do not require vitamin-D in our diet, we can actually make it ourselves. So why can we make vitamin-D, but not vitamin-C? Did you know, that we have the gene that codes for vitamin-C synthesis? The only problem is that it's broken. There is a mutation in the human genome that renders the vitamin-C gene inactive, it just doesn't work. Since we can not make vitamin-C, we must consume it. As it turns out, ALL other members of the great ape family (the chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans) have the EXACT same mutation in the EXACT same place on the vitamin-C gene which renders it inactive. What that says is that at some point in our evolutionary history, before our common ancestors branched apart to form the different members of the great apes, this gene was mutated, rendered ineffective, and was past on. As evolution branched the Hominidae ancestor (the common ancestor to all great apes), all subsequent species inherited this broken gene. It's there, it's testable, it's evidence, and it is just one of the many many many many facts we have to show how life diversified on this planet, and how humans most definitely share common ancestry with the other great apes.

That is how science works, and that is what the evidence shows. Covering your eyes, plugging your ears, and chanting "I cannot, and will not believe" doesn't change the facts.

 

[FirmaFan]

You may believe whatever you want. I, on the other hand, isn't required to believe this aspect of Evolution either way. I believe that God has created Man as we are today and since the dawn of Man.

You, of course, can believe whatever you want. It doesn't change anything about what actually IS. Hell, there is an organization that exists today in which members believe the earth to be flat (flatearthsociety.org). There are still those who say the sun revolves around the earth, and, in this country, there is a majority who reject all manner of evolution outright. You can state your beliefs, you can have your beliefs, and if you so want to hold onto beliefs that have been shown to be inaccurate, just be wary of the dangers such practices have. You are, in essence, denying the reality in which you exist.

Just for kicks, here's a nice little lecture segment from an evolutionary biologist and self-described "devote roman-catholic":

 

[FirmaFan]

Thank God, the Church does not require me to believe Evolution either way, as it isn't necessary for my Salvation. Now, about the prostate's location.....We really do not know why God created that most sensitive part of our being. All we know is that it does produces Testosterone, and components of semen (Cum). We can now move on to the greatest sexual organ....the Brain, the wondrous mystery that is the Brain.

We can not "move on" to the brain, because that discussion is going to end in exactly the same way - you are going to simply say "god-did-it" and refuse to accept any further explanation. If that is what you are choosing the extent of your knowledge to be, then fine, but it gets us no closer to actually understanding anything.

 

[TX-Beau]

I suppose sometimes when the religious confront a fact they run away screaming, but Mikey, there are plenty of ways to still believe in your faith without having to resort to that.

Those flat-earthers are just as silly as the evolution deniers. Yes we have seen earth from space - we KNOW what it looks like, and yes we also know we are genetically related to other species on this planet.

You don't serve god by demonstrating that you will become the proverbial ostrich when confronted with an uncomfortable fact. If your god exists, he knows very well what genetics are - because he created them!

(he also knows the Earth is round)
