   "If" God exists - as you say - as per in the Bible (not   
   incorporating ideas from other religions/Gods/creation   
   stories/scientific theories/advance alien intelligence) then   
   this so called "God" balls up with the design of the male   
   penis and then asks men to lop of the foreskin.   
      
   If he cannot design the male penis correctly - then how on   
   earth do you think he could design a planet - let alone a   
   universe?   
      
   He is seen as getting into a right mess with humans and then   
   has to cause a flood in order to kill most of them off and   
   start again.   
      
   Does this LOOK in any way intelligent?
