[Did Adam & Eve have belly buttons?]
Yes, they had belly buttons, so the children would not be confused at a later date. They were outies at at first, because they were focused outward toward God, but at the fall, they became inwardly focused and sin pulled those buttons right in.

I rarely laugh at these fundie quotes anymore... Usually they just make me a little sad at the state of humanity.
This one's so absurd and harmless that it made me giggle a little though. Even if it's a poe.
Okay I don't normally like it when you post something from RR that isn't insulting to other Christians, non-believers, other faiths, or political or arrogant, but I have to admit that this one is just plain weird!
Your evidence for this would be...what, exactly? Also, what about people today with outie belly buttons? Are they all Christians? I know a woman whose kids are both outies, and they're Jewish.
belly buttons...the SIN indicator.
@ Amanda
then they must be sinless, so they don't need salvation after all.
ROTFLMFAO!
Yeah, I'm sure you were right there, "Valerie" (if that is your real name). Where does the "inerrant word of God" make these statements? You know what God does to people who embellish the Bible, don't you? Hell, Burn, Sizzle...
"What did you pull that shit out of? No, wait, i know where shit comes from... "
The bellybutton, obviously.
Did...you scream pulling that out of your ass? I mean...ye gods...also, if man had a bellybutton, then God had one too, what with us being in his image and all. So...who's God's Mom?
"so the children would not be confused at a later date"
AND THEN GOD CREATED THE GRAND CANYON TO LOOK LIKE IT WAS SLOWLY GROUND AWAY BY WATER, AND HE STUFFED DINOSAUR BONES INTO THE GROUND
AND IT WAS GOOD AND LOGICAL AND CONSISTENT.
Wow!
I can't help but imagine what these people might actually be capable of if they would just let go of their silly superstitions and insensibly constructed castles of air.
I mean, someone, somewhere has put in real effort in formulating answers to these kinds of non-questions, and at first glance they might actaully pass as good explanations. Completely bonkers of course, but still plausible to people actually believing in that kind of nonsense.
Oh yeah, and I have an innie - guess that makes me an ebil sinner. Cool! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to leave the office now to go fornicate a couple of schoolgirls whilst having them fellating a sheep. It's all part of my ebil atheist daily agenda.
Poe's Law. (Per urban dictionary, someone please correct them if they're misquoting.) "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
Vs:
"Poe's Law" (Alternate definition per urban Dictionary) "is a Christian theological principle that states: "Elements of the Gospel speak to different levels of spiritual concern in different cultures at different times." It is taught to modern evangelists as a way to better target the message of the Gospel to different audiences for maximum salvific efficacy. The law was named after theologian Dr. Harry Lee Poe, a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe, who promoted the concept in his book "The Gospel and Its Meaning: A Theology for Evangelism and Church Growth."
According to Poe's Law, we should emphasize the radical aspect of Jesus in order to appeal to today's spirited youths."
I want to cry.
Surely the post is a parody. Yet I can sincerely believe that a Fundamentalist does honestly believe this, having been told it as a child by someone who enjoyed it as a good leg pull.
bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa
ahahahahahahaha
..
hehehe.
he.
ah, hilarity.
“Yes, they had belly buttons, so the children would not be confused at a later date.”
Um, when Adam was made, he wasn’t planned to have kids, right? He wasn’t supposed to have a wife.
He was to pick a helper from the beasts he named.
This makes no sense at all.
The narrative is that he was going to be helped by a cow, or a horse, maybe a dog. So the belly button, a scar one gets from being born, wouldn’t have mattered. No kids.
When Woman was created, they still didn’t know what sex was, so not likely to have kids to point out the lack of a scar.
“They were outies at at first, because they were focused outward toward God,”
That’s not how scars work, numbnuts.
“but at the fall, they became inwardly focused and sin pulled those buttons right in.”
Still not how scars work…
I mean NONE Of the rest of your story makes any sense AT ALL, but this is not even biologically possible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
