This train of thought popped in to my head this morning on the commute to work, not really too sure why, but I found it interesting and it raises a whole bunch of questions. I hope no one finds it offensive.
If man was created in the image of God, does God have a penis? What does he use it for? Are there Goddesses? If there are Goddesses, why don’t Christians worship them as well? If God does have a penis, and he uses it for the same thing men do, then that implies that God has a mother and father, where are they? If he uses it to urinate, what does he eat or drink? And on, and on, and on.
This rambled through my head all the way to work and I chuckled the whole way.

I wonder if you would get a different reply from a Rabbi than a Catholic Priest or an Imam , it might be an interesting exercise .
What if they said no penis , in that case would god the father still be the father , what would define his gender in that case ?
Of course you would get a different answer from a Rabbi, a Catholic Priest and an Imam. The Rabbi and Imam believe God isa Spiritual being and he would not have a penis. A catholic believes in the the incarnation (God becoming man). The Catholic teaching is that what we say about Christ we can say about God. This doctrine is known as the communications of Idioms. So we can say that Mary is the Theotokos (mother of God) and we can say that God has a penis although why we would say that I don’t know. However it is not because we are made in his image. Gods image in man is our ability to know and choose right from wrong. So all Abrahamic religions believe that we are made in God’s image but only some Christians would assert that God had genitalia. Were you really asking a question or just trying to make a penis joke? I get confused.

(Andrew): Hi frankr—it has been a while. Tthose you mention are no longer posting, but you may recognize some names at the ProjectReason forum. We all sort of moved there a couple of years ago.
Andrew Thanks. Good to here from you. I signed up over at the Reason Project but alas my name has been taken. Instead I am using the name I Like Snacks. It really is the summation of my philosophy. See you there. Everyone over there seems very reasonable
A whimsical question - but the answer is moot as there is no logical or plausible argument that can be made to suggest that the creator of the universe would be male.
No, because he doesn’t exist. However, he is portrayed as a prick in both song and story, (overcompensating for a small member?). In the original stories, he had a wife, whom was later killed off. The answer died with her.

Well according to Mormon mythology God not only has a penis but a wife and we are all his literal children to include Satan and Jesus as brothers.
