God created man in his own image

And God decreed that man should have one body, one head, two arms and two legs

How dare you bring this child in a god-fearing household

God declared that each arm should be jointed in two pieces and end in one hand

Banish offences and Blasphemies!

 Each hand should have four fingers and one thumb

and each finger should bear a flat finger-nail

Only the image of god is man!

Then God created woman...

According to her nature

Her voice should be of a higher pitch than a man’s

She should grow no beard

She should have two breasts…

Any creature that shall seem to be human, but is not formed thus is not human

It is neither man nor woman

It is a blasphemy

Against the true image of God.
