Freudians should go to town with God’s fixation on things inside the pants. We’ve had some talk about penises; today, we come at things from, um, another angle. In 1 Samuel 5:2-7, we’re told about when the Philistines took the ark and brought it to Ashdod and brought it into the house of Dagon (their god); and about exactly how the fist of god came down:
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
So, first God knocked over their idol; then knocked him over and cut his head and hands off. And then, he gave them all hemorrhoids (”emerrods”)! Then they caved; any god that can inflict hemorrhoids, you just don’t want to mess with.
Piles are commonly known as hemorrhoids, an itching or painful mass of dilated vein in swollen anal tissue. Hemorrhoids are enlarged blood vessels located inside or outside posteriors. There are generally two types of hemorrhoids the one which found outside or around the anus is internal hemorrhoid and the one which found inside the anal is called internal hemorrhoid.
