Well, when we're discussing the shape of the penis, aren't those two things one and the same?
Testicles are on the outside of the body to provide the optimum temperature for sperm to survive. (Inside your body it's too warm)
The best argument I've found for there not being an intelligent designer is the fact that they've put the entertainment district right in the middle of waste management.
True from an evolutionary stand-point it makes sense. BUT if intelligently designed, why couldn't they make it so the inside of the human body would have said optimum heat? If they could design living creatures from mere protoplasm/atoms/ether/corn they could have figured out a way to both make the testes not a glaring weakness AND house sperm perfectly.
Really if we were designed, I'd say it wasn't so much intelligent design but minor intelligence design.
What are God's feelings on sex?

F***... I opened one mother of a can of worms, didn't I?
That just means God is Polish.
That its bad..mkay
Might want to re-read the Bible some, married couples are explicitly told to be fruitful and multiply. God's all for sex, within a marriage. Everybody always wants to focus on the "you should wait" part of the issue.
EXACTLY! Our design has way too many flaws to be made by a super-powered intelligent being. If I was a super-god and made something in my image, it would have all SORTS of lasers!
The only way I could see someone designing us would be if they were working from parts of animals that all-ready existed.
But since married people dont actually have sex, God's outlawing the one kind that really exists. Amirite?
Seriously though, isn't sex a sin? Like the whole immaculate conception thing is because sex is a sin?

Yeah, apparently. Is it too late to ask people to take this to another sub-forum, or is another rant thread doomed?
No, sex is not a sin. The immaculate conception was the fulfillment of a prophecy given in the old testament to mark the coming of Jesus.
Married people not having sex?!? Gonna have to talk to my wife about that, get her opinion of that statement. (I'm not taking this any further, it would be all TMI up in yo face)
Because of all that fuckin', yes, we get it.
Nope, just incredibly indecisive! Aaaaaaaand I forgot where this one cable doo-hickey of mine is.
...and he can keep that title. One was enough, now if I could just get her to drive...
She can't or doesn't want to?
Little from each catagory, my wife has Lupus and honestly we both felt just fine with only one child.
I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I could very well "choose" to attend church and go through the motions of prayer with everyone else, but I'd ultimately be lying to everyone, much the same way a gay person could "choose" to marry a woman despite having no sexual attraction to her while keeping his true feelings hidden. But nobody can flip a brain-switch to change what they fundamentally do or don't believe in spiritually.
So, in essence, free will does not exist, because one cannot choose what they believe. You have no control over your belief system.
Pretty much, in the same sense that you don't have free will to choose who you want to have sex with, while you still have the free will to choose who you actually have sex with. If you truly believe with your whole being that God exists, is there anything I could possibly say or do that would change your mind? Even if you wanted to stop believing, what actions could I possibly take that would negate his existence in your mind?
Incorrect. You can choose to drink a ton of alcohol.
Maybe thats why drinking is such a major part of some religions.
Its really just annoying for people to tell you how to live your life in general. Go to church, vote, don't wear two different colored shoes, don't wear ripped hoodies, don't howl at the moon at night, it just gets annoying!
One of the most annoying things when you people order food for me? When they don't finish the left-overs. It just bugs me because I hate wasting food so damn much, however most of the time my mother orders white clam sauce linguini and I'm allergic.

People tell you how to live your life because your rights end where their's begin. You and they implicitly disagree on what rights they have and whether you're infringing upon their rights. They feel like they should get to live in a regularized, ordered society, and you're keeping them from that when you wear two different color shoes and ripped hoodies.
Hence, big government.
