In my Wednesday Coffee Break Bible study we spent our discussion reading Genesis 2: The incredible creation of man. In all his other creations, God "spoke" them into existence. However, with man he "formed" him with his own hands. And in that formation he breathed the spirit of life and man had a soul.
So if God made man in his image and thought "it was good," why do we as a society continually feel obligated to alter the way someone looks?
Is this truly what God intended? If we were created in his image, why are we changing that and calling the new appearance: beauty?
After reading Ishmael, I wonder if the "Takers" in fact wrote the Bible. However, even if we think man is the end of the creation story why are we altering this supposed perfect creation? Are we are product of the few who believe in a strange sense of beauty? Or are we constantly wanting to better the already perfect creation? If God got it right on the 6th day, why do we feel he didn't do a good enough job?
Whether you believe Adam and Eve were real people, or if you believe it is merely myth, what does the above commercial say about our culture? Are we eventually going to create a people that resemble Michael Jackson or Joan Rivers? As a mother, how can I prevent my girls from the sick influence of our "never perfect" society? And where will it end?
