Talking of the mighty organ - a man who accosted me on the tube wanting me to believe in his god shrunk away to nothing when i asked him why his god always seems to have to have a penis.
I know that every prime minister needs a willy, but why is it also essential to the godliness of your one G-d?
I'm not really the person to ask. The headline is satirical.
But Judaism began in the Babylonian exile when the Jews were, quite understandably, suffering from one mighty, collective inferiority complex. And Islam was invented to bring the ineffectual Arab tribes, who were constantly picking fights with each other, into one unstoppable military unit. At the time masculinity and male sexual potency were seen as being the benchmarks of physical superiority (and probably still are in the eyes of many). My guess is that the answer to your question is all to do with the followers of each particular god wanting to feel superior to everybody outside of their community, for various and different reasons, but all to do with power.
And like God their great work is
