Strangely enough this was the question that ruined religion for me. If I was created in gods image, and I have a nose... and noses are a product of evolution... then how the hell does that make any sense at all?

I spent a lot of time on that snafu before I finally gave up on religion.

Yes, He has a nose. And it is rather beakish. All the other Gods make fun of Him and call him "big nose." Hey Earth God, they say, where you from, nose city? I wasn't picking my nose, He says, I was scratching it. And one of his wives tells him, "yes you were. You was picking at it."

He must not, because the meetinghouses are very dirty...

Absolutely not. Otherwise, he and his buddies would have smelled a rat when they saw Joseph Smith masturbating in the woods and told him to stop.

Of course, he enhanced their message.

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose. And that proves God exists. SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't roll your friends up into little balls.

Since you claim God has a body of flesh and bone, does that mean God has a tailbone? Is his DNA 98% Chimpanzee? Because if we are made in his image then he must be because our DNA and Chimp are very similar.

They have no answer and all of a sudden claim to not know...lol

There you go. You've finally got to the root of my post. It can't possibly make sense for his spirit to have had to evolve.

If he doesn't have a nose, then the church is a lie.

Let's ask the President of the Church:

Q: ...don’t Mormons believe that God has a nose, just like man?
A: I wouldn’t say that. There was a little couplet coined, “As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become.” Now that’s more of a couplet than anything else. That gets into some pretty deep theology that we don’t know very much about.
Q: So you’re saying the church is still struggling to understand this?
A: Well, as God is, man may become. We believe in eternal progression. Very strongly. We believe that the glory of God is intelligence and whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. Knowledge, learning, is an eternal thing. And for that reason, we stress education. We’re trying to do all we can to make of our people the ablest, best, brightest people that we can. (San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, April 13, 1997)

The question that rattles my testimony is whether God the Father has a foreskin, and if so, why Jesus the Son had to be circumcised. And if that's not enough of a conundrum, in the resurrection did Jesus get his foreskin back to be like God the Father, or retain his circumcision done under the law of Moses? And will other circumcised males be resurrected circumcised or uncircumcised?

I cannot return to the church until these and other important matters are resolved. If I had the time I'd send my inquiry to the Ensign's "I Have A Question" column but I've lapsed so long I don't know if they even have it. Maybe the missionaries would know on Mormon.org.

I do believe that you are correct for the feminine portion of the godhead, also know as the quorum of the heavenly mothers. I have it on good authority that not one of Elohim's wive's has a foreskin and never did.

There are two lines of reasoning that prove god has a foreskin.
1. He existed before the Abrahamic covenent
2. He has a resurrected body and a resurrected body has everything put back even if it had been lost or whacked off.
I bet its a really long one, too.

At his age, I'd guess it's massive. I hope he has access to Saw Palmetto up there.

I wonder if he has rethought those particular intelligent designs?

Of course he does. After all he was created in my image. Long live the anthropomorphic god!

For a while, maybe 100 years, the Byzantine Emperors would chop off the noses of their rivals to the throne. That was known as rhinokopeia (rhino=nose) and it worked because no one would listen to a wannabe emperor who had no nose.

Eventually Justinian II got himself deposed, lost his nose to the new emperor Leontios, but came back and retook the throne even without a nose. So all the emperors after him knew it wouldn't work any more. Such is history.

Without a nose he doesn't know what a crappy job it is...in fact, he finds cleaning toilets quite enjoyable.
