Why Men Have Nipples

Teens often ask religious speakers,"Why do men have nipples?" Funny, but behind the humor is a sincere question.

So, earlier this morning, as I read Homily 5 from Severian of Gabala, a 4th century Christian writer, imagine my surprise when Severian asked the very same question!

His answer: "For comliness, for proper adornment; just as with builders, some things are done out of necessity, others for comliness, so too, God both adorned the human being and equipped him for meeting needs."

What this means to me is symmetry. God made humans, both, for form and function as any good architect would do.
