    Medical opinion states it sucks to do it after puberty though.

    I'll be damned if the Bible is clear on anything.
    I quick passing through my Bible yielded passages that indicate to me that circumcision is inconsequential. I cannot determine why Moses started the fad in the first place.

    That is not to say that there isn't a passage that better defends circumcision, just that I have not found it.

    I thought it started in Babylon, well after Moses was dead.

    Well there you have it then. Religion is a waste of time.

    I have no idea. My readings revealed to me the Moses brought circumcision to the people the Bible concerns itself with. I do not know where Moses got it.

    Tread lightly, 'Hatter. Not everyone has given up Magick in favor of a more logic-based belief system.

    Good. Another sensible person.

    Below is one of my favourite quotes:

    "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" - Douglas Adams.

    Both those passages are quotations from sinners. The one who started circumcision was Abraham, who was ninety and nine when he was circumcised. Look it up, yo.

    How would anyone come up with the idea in the first place anyway?

    And because of that, I'm supposed to watch what I say? Were you trying to make a point with that?

    Nah, it was just a kindly but probably unnecessary warning that people often get fired up when their belief systems are attacked.

    Or it could also have nothing to do with their offended belief systems and everything to do with "unnecessary" warnings from know-it-all jackoffs.

    Xz wins the thread with this question. I never really considered it before. You would have to be pretty fucked to think of it.

    I always think of this comic when people start doing the "why do we do X" game:

    Well, the cow milk thing, actually makes sense. Milk comes from human breasts, why wouldn't it come from a cow too?

    Deciding to cut off foreskin all of a sudden though, now that seems irrational...

    And thank you for being the most retarded person I've yet to see exist that pretends to be intelligent enough to interact with the rest of humanity.

    I never said it must, only that one should consider other's view while forming their own.

    Thankfully your scorn isn't the definition of freedom, otherwise all humanity would be slaves.

    I agree. I'd rather have global war....doesn't mean we agree or disagree.
    Shibang! Turn my own words against me! I love you. Just because I agree with your counter post doesn't mean you're not a fucking retard. We're both retarded, given I agree 100%.

    Xz: The only racism is your own perception. Really, what the fuck does race have to do with anything? I refuse to believe you're as stupid as you prove yourself to be.
