Michelangelo drew Adam with a schlong before God even breathed life into him, and who are we to argue with Michelangelo? As for what Adam _did_ with it, consider that God’s first attempt at creating a “helper” (wink,wink) was to create the animals, so bestiality may have been part of the original plan. ---

There’s a wonderful work of art, [portraying God pointing at Adam, who is pointing at Eve, who is pointing at the snake](http://classconnection.s3.amazonaws.com/232/flashcards/453232/jpg/aaaeump01324124717252.jpg). ---

God created Adam in his own image, created He him. So did God have a penis? If so, why? ETA: And, if so, did God, like, masturbate? ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > The real question is did he have a penis before Eve? Remember, there’s that story about God making some changes to him while he slept and something about a bone. Could be that until there was a use for it, God hadn’t supplied the organ. What the Bible didn’t mention (and neither did the nuns at your religious school) was that God took two of Adam’s ribs. One of them, he used to create Eve. ---

God created Eve to stop Adam shagging all the animals. ---

Well, Lilith was made at the same time as Adam (although I think her story qualifies more as fan-fic than divine revelation) before there was Eve. ---

rain is what happens when the woman in Men in Black is sad. “You’re not sad because it is raining,” says the Man in Black, “It is raining because you are sad.” Then she transports into somewhere else in the universe.
