some scholars theorise that if the original sin is something that affects all the generations of people forever after, then it has to be sexually transmitted and therefore may be the result of wrongful mating - so was the original sin not an fruit from the forbidden tree, but bestiality?
so we humans ARE the fruit of the forbidden tree, as in, - we are the offspring of a wrong mating - between Eve and a serpent perhaps.

God knew one day Adam would look at snow and wish for a *wand* to write his name instead of trying to do it running around in a squat.
lets take this one step further - are we a genetic homework assignment of some alien schoolboy? perhaps a schoolboy form the Q continuum like in Star Trek?

So that means God likes farting, as any curry he creates must be perfect.
I think we're getting to the bottom of this one. Pun intended

I have thought along those lines a few times myself ..
I have brought this up before . ...I dont believe that Cain married a sister.
Scripture has no mention of Sisters until the very next verse AFTER Cain went away ....I have also brought up before ..How could there have already been a City named NOD where Cain went if there was no one but Cain and Abel and Adam And Eve ? There has to be more to it than that ..I have come to the conclusion that maybe fallen angels wandered about outside of that garden possibly in some kind of human form ...and Nod was a city they built and lived in .....(Possibly the neanderthal maybe ?)
Anyway back to the penis subject ..so did yall figure anything out yet ?
Were testicles and sperm added on after the fall ? Or what ? LOL>

Yes. God already knew that He would create Eve, along with Adam.
"All His works are known to Him from the beginning."
and
"...."those that He predestined from the foundation of the world..."
.....obviously, these included female as well as male.

You see the Bible was written in a way people back then could understand. I will take for example the passage where God created man from mud.
Well obviously he didnt make a statue of mud but todays research show that elements necessary for life on earth came from mud.

so I somtimes wonder if the gods we call gods are actually the devil?
have you ever known a single war fought in the name of the devil? I mean - lets get an army and give them weapons and march to fight a war in the name of our devil to defeat the devils enemies?
Good points!
I have come to believe that they are actually all on the same team. Satan does the dirty work, and God takes the credit for; blessings, miracles etc.
The so-called dark side is our enemy - yet they work for the "light -side!" Satan is not God's adversary, but ours.
Once I started to "get" the game, I knew to play my part differently.

i never did understand why god needed a messy and painful death of Jesus - surely he could have just waved his hand and forgiven that little ol thing called the original sin - why did that messy crucifixion had to happen? does god thirst for blood? did god need a messy painful death because he needs blood and suffering and gore to feed off?
God isnt bloodthirsty, and what happened to Jesus was a misunderstanding.
"Sin" translates to "mistake." The moral aspect of it is irrelevant.
God cant "forgive" us because God IS us, and the "mistake" runs throughout God. On every level.
A death does need to occur, but it needs to happen at the conceptual level of "Self" not physical "self."
Jesus, (and others) have understood a death needed to occur, but they mistook what that meant. He didnt have to physically die, he had to die to himself.
This "death" needs to be real-ized, or made real, by an aspect or "child" of God, but thinking about it, and acting it out physically isnt enough, which is why we are still in the same boat as when Jesus was here.

What if he was a clone or a genetic manipulation. Does say Eve was made from a rib doesn't it. For a moment imagine - they had the equivalent knowlege of Genetic Modification as we do. Imagine if we did this in some desolate place. Placed an experiment. A testube man - you could tell him anything you wanted and he would believe - even if you said you were god and created the world.

The Bible could also be a horror story. Are you so sure that the "ancients" didn't know what they were doing/writing/saying???? If "they" had written about interdimensional time traveling aliens instead of angels & demons would you be more apt to listen to their warnings? Nice to meet someone who knows more than some of the most brilliant disciplined people who have ever walked this planet and who after studying Scripture found the words to be true. BOO! The "aliens/demons" are right behind you.

Actually according to ancient history neither male or female had reproductive organs. We were considered vegetation in the garden of Eden.
They became embarrassed of their bodies because they were unaware of what bodies were. That is why most ancient art (paintings, drawings) show the human anatomy with a leaf or flower covering the genitals. It is understood by many ancient historians that we didnt have genitals for a long time in our evolution.
