God wants to express himself through your belly button.

God expresses himself* through lint?


* Used in the generic non-gender-specific sense, of course.

You mean God the Father? Probably. At least he'd need one for astral-projection. I'm sure God the Son has one. I think it's the HG that has the balck hole.

YUP, good ol' GTF.

Naturally you all understand the conundrum. If Man is made in God's image, God must have a belly button, but why does He have one?

Oh, that! Well, as one preacher explained to me...God made Adam and Eve without BBs, and without the ability to defecate or you're innate. But, he built them with expansion in mind in case things headed south.

Does God have a belly button? We can only guess. My guess, though, is that She does not. The black hole concept may be as close as we poor humans are likely to get with regard to cosmogenesis. I am comfortable with the idea that there is much that I will never understand. We might as well revel in the great mystery that appears around and within us.

Given the general chaos that is human history, there may be more resemblance between humans and MS Windows than we'd like to admit! ;)

Whether God has a belly button begs the question, does God have a belly?

If so, maybe this will help?

One almost has to be. We have little choice in the matter.

From the 39 Articles (as found in the Book of Common Prayer), "THERE is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions; of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the Maker, and Preserver of all things both visible and invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead there be three Persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."

One supposes that Mormonism holds that God has a navel, as they believe that He was first a man.
