One could argue that god designed penises as chigger food. Of course, one could argue anything when it comes to fantasy.

I'm actually quite fascinated by people with bizarre bodies and strange medical conditions.
Like the "tree man," for example:

I am too, Rayaan. I used to watch the Discovery Health Channel shows like Medical Incredible, but I don't think any of those are on anymore.

Richard Dawkins (considered second in the ranking of evil to satan by many Christians) pretty much rebutted the whole argument from design in his book The Blind Watchmaker

Or one can argue that "the fall" caused animals like chiggers to start feeding on human penises.

You know whjat though Ziggy, what with all the other curses mentioned as the effects of the fall, if cock eating chiggers were among them, we'd have read about it. That isn't something the group that wrote the bible is likely to have left out.
Labia chiggers, yeah that might escape mention, penis chiggers, no, that'd be in the black and white.

Penis munching chiggers are a result of America's increasing tolerance for homosexuality. That's why there is no mention of them.

You're right. They probably didn't even exist until god heard there were a bunch of apostates with foreskin running around. Before that, The Common Penis Chigger was a vegetarian, and only hitched rides on genitalia, they did not consume it, because it was not gods will (some chiggers are male, this would be homosexuality).

I do not care about the banana, tell me about man's eye.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I was describing how current Christian Creationists generally interpret the effects of "the fall", such as some vegetarian animals (such as the lion or even tyrannosaurus rex hock becoming carnivorous. It is a product of a modern mindset which is concerned about the idea of a "just and loving god" allowing so much animal suffering in a creation which was deemed good. However I don't think the writers of Genesis thought that was one of the effects of "the fall". Also allowing huge amounts of animal suffering is consistent with Yahweh's character, who prescribed all sorts of animal cruelty for the atonement of sin. Not to mention wiping out essentially all animals apart from what went into the ark, during the flood (which raises the question, what did they do to deserve such punishment).
