Farmina declares God a Straight White Male

Farmina

Grey Radio brings the Farmina and the World this message from the Glorious Farminan Authorities:

Professor Walker has been conducting research for our great nation of Farmina. His findings are incontrovertible. This is what he said in a press conference yesterday.

PROFESSOR WALKER: “I now have proof that God is a straight, white male.
One must remember that God created Adam in his own image. Adam was a straight, white male. This can be proven through historical genealogy as well as references from the bible. Adam’s status as a male is undisputed. One must also note when God chose a companion for Adam it was a woman, thus in God’s own taste, as well as Adam’s. To prove Adam was white is harder. It involved tracing region ascendancies; however they can eventually be traced back to having white decedents in white areas.”

The High Priest of Farmina has declared that these findings support continued separate development to maintain the purity of the Farminan people. Efforts will continue to stamp out the practice of sodomy and find if there is a homosexual gene that needs to be eliminated. Professor Walker is currently researching more of God’s characteristics, so breeding laws can become more selective, in their efforts to make the Farminan people more like God.

FOR FARMINA, IN GOD’S NAME

The white race did not even exist until several million years after the dawn of man.

The garden of eden would have been in southern africa, and Adam and Eve would both have been black.

It only makes sense.

Let me assure you that the Adam and Eve were in fact white, history proves this fact.

They unlike the majority of mankind were created in Europe. God dispersed the population as he created. Let it be noted he created more than two people, but these two, especially Adam, were the perfect specimens.

Indeed no.

It is proven that all humans were originally black.

White, arab, oriental and otherwise humans came afterward.

White's, for example, became that way, as, when living up in cold Europe, they began to lose there adaption of high melenin in the skin, wich protected them from the sun.

Technically whites de-evolved.

Though my compatriots in the Church wish only to see your continued success in any direction of research, the Imperial government would be pleased if you began working on a way to disprove the heathenistic notion of 'human rights' that so many of the world's unenlightened hold dear. We feel that this concept is an affront to the absolute power of the deity, and would like to see it erased from the minds of the devout.

These attempts to ascertain that God is indeed a Straight White Male to me seems most trivial and quite pointless. No evidence can possibly be found in health of mind and constitution of wit to prove that Adam was Caucasian. Nor is possible for us to prove that the King of Kings is not the Queen of Queens. No Human can truly comprehend the being-ness of the Lord, so how can we hope to discover his sexual orientation?

Furthermore anyone who attempts to find the answers to these most fruitless questions is, beyond any shadow of the doubt, missing the point of God's teachings. As human beings we are asked to love each other as the Lord loves us, regardless of Race or Gender. I refute all these claims in the name of that message, true or not they have no place in modern religion.

I ask that we all relinquish these pursuits and instead seek to understand the Words not the Complexion of our Lord God.

I am inclined to ask what proof you have of Adam's lineage, but this point is moot. It does not matter if God is White, just as it does not matter that our opinions differ greatly. You have a right to indeed believe what you wish to believe, just as I have my own. It is only human to aspire to the wisdom of God, and I find your intentions to explain the mystical admirable, if some-what misguided.

The fact that, 2000 years later, we are still taking "His" book as law makes me sick. Jesus is quoted a saying "I'll be back soon." How soon is soon? A decade or two? 5 at the outside?

Your logic is indeed flawed if that is what you use to disprove the existence of God. Many more worthwhile attempts have been made, yet none of them have been successful. It is not our job to prove his existence, it is yours to prove the reverse. Two-thousand years is but a blink of an eye in terms of the Universe. Time is but a relative thing my friend, and God is timeless. In the course of human affairs that insignificant temporal number may seem like an impossible eternity, but that is only because humans are thankfully rewarded with short life spans.

One must remember that God created Adam in his own image.

Well, as a single creative being. While all animals came in pairs of male and female.

Adam felt boring being alone and having to masturbate all day to get some fun.

So god decided to make him more like an animal - with a female friend. But he installed a backdoor - they shall create a small percentage of humans to be like himself - creative, art-loving and with no need for a female counterpart.

And thus you assert that notions of race or gender are entirly arbitrary in respect to your god, as such are changible and thus not fundimentally inherent in his or her being.

You speak of evidence, but surly even the most ironclad of such can be but circumstantial in light of the fundimental power of an almighty being.

Actually, he was already back, you just missed it.

Christians say this, the scripture says this.

He was crucified, entombed by his followers, one day a woman came to pay homage, no Jesus, or was it that the huge assed rock was rolled back and the guard saw? I cannot remember.

But, anyhow.

All the followers were in a frenzy, someone had taken Jesus's body! Oh no! The difilement! Ahhh!

And then they saw that Jesus had simply gotten up to stretch his legs. He greeted them, reasured them, then ascended to heaven.

There is a christian holiday called easter in celebration of this. It occurs annually on the roman calender.

He came back and left.

Lets say there is a God.

Lets say this God;

Created the Universe
Is Omniscient
Is Omnipotent
Is Good
Wanted Humans to Exist
Provides an Afterlife where Good is rewarded and Evil punished.


First of all... point 1) The Universe is incredibly vast and old and we still barely understand alot of it. Even the milky way, merely a single galaxy amongst millions. Consists of trillions of stars. And the solar system alone is incredibly vast. Even the Earth is so large compared to us humans that we are tiny specks in it who can never know all that there is to know about our world. God obviously not only can know all about Earth, he can know all about the universe. God thus possesses a mind with infinite processing capacity and perfect memory.

Point 2) Either fate is fixed per God's will or it is open, in the latter case Omniscience knows that God knows every potential way any situation can go as well as how likely they are. God being omniscient would suggest fate is fixed though. Else there would be a small margin of surprise possible.

Point 3) Being omnipotent, God is not from this universe. He/she wouldn't be as he/she created it. However in this universe we have laws of logic like 'square circles can't exist.' God would be above this and any other law in this universe (from logic to cold hard physics.)

Point 4) Being good, God would be understanding of human limitations and thus forgiving and without favour. Being good he/she would be more prone to show the evil the error in their ways and lead them to sincere redemption then anything else. Being good, God would not be jealous, vengeful or petty and would not require worship. Being omniscient he/she may not neccesarily care at all. He knows wether or not you'd be inclinded to worship, but it'd be trivial.

Point 5) If he/she wanted humans to exist, he/she likely wanted everything to exist that did and does. The proof for this is the size of the universe. Humans are tiny and insignificant in it, so there is probably alot more out there, and if God only wanted humans to exist there would have been no need whatsoever to bother with such an infinitly huge and complex universe. He/she would not have need to make it all just for humans to exist. Being omnipotent he/she could have just solely made humans if that was all he/she cared about.
Now if he/she didn't want it, but couldn't help it, he/she is not omnipotent, lack of omniscience may be an explanation too, but if one is omnipotent, one can make oneself omniscient. Else one is not omnipotent either!
If he made it and likes it the way it is, then he is not good, since there is evil. And if he/she thinks things like the holocaust are the way things should be, don't count on nice treatment if you kiss his/her ass. He/she will at best keep you around till you cease to be amusing.
But if God didn't want humans to exist, then why would we exist if the universe was created?

Point 6) Since we have ran into contradictions here, the only way we can have a good god that provides and afterlife. Is for this God to be non-omnipotent and non-omniscient. But simply very powerful with a large capacity for overseeing things, but not an infinite one. This God may or may not care about us. He/she/it may have simply made the universe to see how it'd go. If the universe was indeed created, astronomy would suggest this. The universe after all is expanding so fast that eventually it will die and nothing will remain as the remnants of matter expand so fast that they could no longer be pulled back by gravity into a single spot for another big bang.
A God that doesn't care may not provide an afterlife and thus is irrelevant to us.

It could also be that God does indeed care and did provide an afterlife, but we are still dealing with a limited God then. And one whose motives cannot be known.

If all humans are made in God's image, then that includes blacks, gays, females ect. Therefore, God is all of these things.

Inasmuch as I think this topic is a joke in the first place, and even if it wasn't I'd disagree with the topic creator, this is just plain wrong.

In Genesis, it says straight up that the Garden of Eden would've been in the fertile crescent area of what is now Iraq. It says 4 rivers run through the Garden of Eden, two of which are the Tigris and the Euphrates. I can give a direct quote if necessary.

He knows wether or not you'd be inclinded to worship, but it'd be trivial.

Point 5) If he/she wanted humans to exist, he/she likely wanted everything to exist that did and does. The proof for this is the size of the universe. Humans are tiny and insignificant in it, so there is probably alot more out there, and if God only wanted humans to exist there would have been no need whatsoever to bother with such an infinitly huge and complex universe. He/she would not have need to make it all just for humans to exist. Being omnipotent he/she could have just solely made humans if that was all he/she cared about.
Now if he/she didn't want it, but couldn't help it, he/she is not omnipotent, lack of omniscience may be an explanation too, but if one is omnipotent, one can make oneself omniscient. Else one is not omnipotent either!
If he made it and likes it the way it is, then he is not good, since there is evil. And if he/she thinks things like the holocaust are the way things should be, don't count on nice treatment if you kiss his/her ass. He/she will at best keep you around till you cease to be amusing.
But if God didn't want humans to exist, then why would we exist if the universe was created?

Point 6) Since we have ran into contradictions here, the only way we can have a good god that provides and afterlife. Is for this God to be non-omnipotent and non-omniscient. But simply very powerful with a large capacity for overseeing things, but not an infinite one. This God may or may not care about us. He/she/it may have simply made the universe to see how it'd go. If the universe was indeed created, astronomy would suggest this. The universe after all is expanding so fast that eventually it will die and nothing will remain as the remnants of matter expand so fast that they could no longer be pulled back by gravity into a single spot for another big bang.
A God that doesn't care may not provide an afterlife and thus is irrelevant to us.

It could also be that God does indeed care and did provide an afterlife, but we are still dealing with a limited God then. And one whose motives cannot be known.

Where to begin? This arguement has more holes than a sieve. Please keep arguements short in future. I am currently very busy on a project relating to the Theory of Christian Rights. To begin with a lot of your assumptions are still being debated within the Church. You also forget that human thought that leads to what humans produce have one key difference from God, Satan's influence. God is not all-powerful, only in a relative sense. He even admits to mistakes in the case of the Great Flood, in which he manipulates nature.

These are but a few of your mistakes.

Inasmuch as I think this topic is a joke in the first place, and even if it wasn't I'd disagree with the topic creator, this is just plain wrong.

In Genesis, it says straight up that the Garden of Eden would've been in the fertile crescent area of what is now Iraq. It says 4 rivers run through the Garden of Eden, two of which are the Tigris and the Euphrates. I can give a direct quote if necessary.

Many rivers were destroyed in the Great Flood, the tilting of the Earth (debated) and over 100,000 years of warming in these times.

If you accept the word of the bible as Truth, Adam was made in God's image, and all humans are descended from him. Therefore, all humans are made in God's image.
Some humans are straight white males. They were made in God's image. However, some humans are gay black females, or gay arab males, or straight asian females... there are infinite possibilities. If all humans are made in God's image, then that includes blacks, gays, females ect. Therefore, God is all of these things. Therefore, if God is a personified being, as opposed to a spiritual energy with no defined form (which He may not be), God is more likely to be a bisexual mixed-race hermaphrodite.

Logic would also serve to dictate the following:

Since the theistic entity defined as 'God' purportedly created humanity in his image, yet his creation does not bear his exact image, and considering the breadth of his powers, one would consider he would take on two forms intended on bringing forth Friendliness or Fear.

It is to this end that 'God' appears to everyone differently. One may see him as but a five year old child in a blue t-shirt, while another may see him as some towering marble gladiator with a sword of flame. The two people seeing 'God' at the EXACT same time would in essence do the following:

-One would look down and say "You're God? Err... kinda young, aren't ya?"
-The other would look up in abject terror, then run screaming... to Hell.

It is in this case that Farmina's assertion that God is a White Straight Male is quite correct.

And also horrendously wrong. You will see him the way HE wants YOU to see HIM, and if he decides that you see a straight white male, then you will. If he decides that you will see 'God' as Richard Simmons, hotpants and all, then you will. It is also in this case that the use of gender differentiations is something of an exercise in futility, as he could just as easily appear as a legless black lady hovering in the air.

Keep in mind, we have no stakes in this argument one way or the other, as we Godulans here at our Vizion installation simply enjoy debating religious "no-see-ums" for a good laugh on slow business days.

And we keep our station here in ViZion to maintain Old World business commitments, and to sell surveillance gizmos and gadgets to various budding totalitarian regimes. Want some Spyflies? Root out terrorists/rebels/protesters with the click of a button and such.

BUT... getting on to your response:

Logic would further dictate that god is as unfathomable as he is powerful, therefore, your logic, and indeed all logic by definition, is invalid as to what his most fundamental appearance would be like, as he would likely have placed misleading information just to trip you up. After all, the statement that god is infallible does not necessarily mean that he can't, and doesn't, lie. Mysterious ways, I believe is the important consideration here.

As such, I would not be so certain of your assumption. You shouldn't be, either. To do so would be folly, as you would believe yourself to have total understanding of what you consider to be a perfect being, and as you are an imperfect creation created by that perfect being, you cannot and will not truly understand.

I'm Mary Bragglestein and you're watching the Enigma Bragging Network.

Today, in a bit of strangeness, Nergal appeared in a large city in Farmina as a man of fair complexion wearing a white flowing robe and with a Bible in his hand. He promptly engaged in a massive, um, "bedroom activity" with several males there. Then he changed his skin to purple, changed into a woman, and chased several local women around while screaming statements that can only be described as sexual harassment of the most heinous sort. No one knows why Nergal did this and no one wants to ask him.

Wait, I have an update. Apparently he did it because they accused him of being a "straight white male" and he felt like being an ass. I knew he had a god complex, but this is going way too far.

In other news, Enigma has lowered the one trilling dollar bounty on Nergal's head to half of what it was in reply. He feels that, in this case, Nergal was doing some good. All accusations that the Nergal hologram was actually generated by a DLE ship are being denied, as the ship being in orbit and firing light waves and graviton fields into that area are entirely coincidental.

In related news, it appears the entire nation of Farmina is on drugs. One of their scientists declared a god to be a "straight white male" and seemed to be talking as though there was only one. Our scientists, upon examining the evidence, promptly busted out laughing in response and would like to offer psychiatric help to the officials of Farmina to help them recover and come to some sense.

YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF YHWH IN VAIN.

The voice was of deafening thunder, yet of perfect, absolute beauty, threatening and forgiving at the same time, a melody of perfection... And discipline.

A moment later, a being appeared in front of Prof. Walters, a being of seemingly perfect beauty, even for Prof. Walters, despite his obvious, somewhat odd believes.

It, or rather, she was of ebony skin, her green eyes were radiating order and harmony, yet they were seemingly threatening, a light of pure beauty covering the entirety of her as she held the torah in her right hand, extending it. Right next to her, another being stood, lookign just like her, though smaller, her arms wrapped around her, looking as if... Yes, as if she was in love with the being she embraced.

WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE MY NAME IN VAIN? WHO ARE YOU, TO CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND THE SECRETS OF CREATION? WHO ARE YOU, TO TWIST THE TRUTH TO JUSTIFY YOR OWN, ABHORREND WAYS?

There was a moment of silence. Real silence, as nothing, absolutely nothing could be heard. As if time had stopped, for just this one moment.

CHANGE YOUR WAYS, FOR YOUR SALVATION CAN ONLY COME FROM REALISING YOUR ERRORS. YOU CAN BE SAVED, BUT ONLY WHEN YOU REALISE THE TRUTH, RATHER THAN TWISTING IT, SHALL I FORGIVE YOU.

Then the thunder of her voice ended, and with a smile, she vanished, as if into thin air, but not without leaving something behind... A radiating vortex of light, slowly fading, a star of Davids... Touching it, Prof. Walters would possiblöy feel its reassuring warmth... Yet, he would be burned to the bone, if he touched it before realising the truth, the perfect beauty of salvation, a beauty not tainted by hatred or fear, by irrational persecution and disrespect for fellow beings, regardless of all the arbitrary differences used to divide the one people that form mankind.

Your so called Logic is 1-flawed and 2-irrelavent. Firstly we being of sinful bodies could not possibly see God or we would be struck dead, it has precident in the Bible. We were created in God's image but there is really little relavence in debating what colour skin Adam had. You forget that when God stopped the spread of wickedness with the flood the ONLY survivors were Noah and his immediate family. Since the Ark landed in the mountains of East Turkey his skin would have been along the lines of the Jews and Arabs in the region. The differing pigments in his descendants would have determined the "racial" lines so Adams pigment really doesn't matter. If you want proof that Creation is the truth and that God exists try this on for size;
1) Where is the actual full fossil proof of Evolution and why does complex life just suddenly appear? Since there are still monkeys and such in existance did they just miss the memo?
2) How does life exist in anything more complex than Hydrogen molecules? By the very Laws of Physics and Chemistry everything should break down into the most simple of elements. These Laws also counter the THEORY of evolution.
Besides who ever said that God only made 1 planet full of Humans or that he didn't make other scentient life forms out there? I don't recall the Bible saying anything about this being the one and only planet. I pity people like DemonLordEnigma who are so obviously struggling with their sexuality or lack there of.

Since the Ark landed in the mountains of East Turkey his skin would have been along the lines of the Jews and Arabs in the region. The differing pigments in his descendants would have determined the "racial" lines so Adams pigment really doesn't matter. If you want proof that Creation is the truth and that God exists try this on for size;
1) Where is the actual full fossil proof of Evolution and why does complex life just suddenly appear? Since there are still monkeys and such in existance did they just miss the memo?
2) How does life exist in anything more complex than Hydrogen molecules? By the very Laws of Physics and Chemistry everything should break down into the most simple of elements. These Laws also counter the THEORY of evolution.
Besides who ever said that God only made 1 planet full of Humans or that he didn't make other scentient life forms out there? I don't recall the Bible saying anything about this being the one and only planet. I pity people like DemonLordEnigma who are so obviously struggling with their sexuality or lack there of. Death must be a sweet release for one so pitiful as you.

Noah was a direct decendent of Adam. The rest is agreeable.

Your so called Logic is 1-flawed and 2-irrelavent. Firstly we being of sinful bodies could not possibly see God or we would be struck dead, it has precident in the Bible.

1) Unfortunately, as stated, the argument devolved after the "Infallibility Does Not Mean Honesty" point was made, for as such, one would be hard pressed to use the bible as evidence for any assertions beyond those supported by paperwork and physical evidence.

2) We prefer not to bicker on the subject of evolution versus creationism, however we will voice our frustration on the fact that we had actually answered both of your questions several hundred times before, with physical and archaeological evidence to back the responses up, and each and every time those we spoke to held their hands over their ears and la-la-la'd until we gave up. This is exacerbated by the fact that creationists ask the exact same set of questions over and over again, as though they believe we CAN'T answer them. It got monotonous.

3) Whether or not he chose to make multiple planets in the manner you speak is irrelevant, however usage of such information would only prove further our point that he would appear differently to everyone.

Also, you are mistaken if you believe our assertion on his appearance is in regards to his true form. The true form would likely be a template or medley form incorporating only the most basic features of his creations.

Don't point your atmospheric experiment at us in that case. I ask why slander is protected under your rule Enigma and how you came to the conclusion I was threatening you. Your second last statement has an implication of guilt on your behalf. Most people would rebutt the charge, you however laugh at the result.

Threats, in this case, were implied on your part, and the wording leaves little doubt you intended them.
"Slander," as you call it, is protected because the people want it to be. I make money off the people, off the news corporation, off the advertisements, and off the shows. I have no reason to bother restricting them.
Do I laugh at your talk of hurt relations? Yes. I have the firepower to back up my laughing and the fact you don't have to listen to my news if you don't like it. They've said far worse about nations much bigger than you are and I've yet to reap anything from it.

Actually, he was already back, you just missed it.

Christians say this, the scripture says this.

He was crucified, entombed by his followers, one day a woman came to pay homage, no Jesus, or was it that the huge assed rock was rolled back and the guard saw? I cannot remember.

But, anyhow.

All the followers were in a frenzy, someone had taken Jesus's body! Oh no! The difilement! Ahhh!

And then they saw that Jesus had simply gotten up to stretch his legs. He greeted them, reasured them, then ascended to heaven.

There is a christian holiday called easter in celebration of this. It occurs annually on the roman calender.

He came back and left.

You just missed it.

If I'm not mistaken, he says something like "I'll be back" WHEN he ressurected. So no, he hasn't come back yet..

It's not that I have a lack of confidence in my ability to win. It's the difference in technology levels and how far my nation has edvanced itself since the last war.

While the nation of Aoden applauds Professor Walter's interest in Christianity and devotion to learning the truth, we here must disagree with your findings.

Superiority of any race is put down by God Himself. To say otherwise is heresy in and of itself. The Protestant Christian organizations within Aoden would be willing to help sponsor the research of Professor Walter, but only if he is willing to research more plausible claims and put aside these radical thoughts of white supremacy.

On a completely unrealted topic several Farminian citizens were arrested in Hyperbia today for enciting violence against members of the High Council, the majority of which are black and/or non-christian.
This being a capitol crime in Hyperbia and with the entire incident recorded all defendants were shot after a lengthy 45 second trial.

Silly Professor, surely you realize that when it said Adam was made in God's image it was not referring to physical characteristics? God, being infinite, would not take on a physical form lest He destroy Creation. The image being referred to is more in the sense of humankind possessing personality and a soul rather than such transient things as this rather prodigious wart on my nose. Anywho, your research intrigues me. I would be willing to contribute a few million from my nation's coffers to further your research.

Penpusher archaeologists have issued a statement saying they deny that Adam and Eve were European, and all claims are this are unsubstantiated and false.

We deny any claim of God being white, as He is a divine being and does not fit into any human racial, sexual, or mental classification.
