The graphics make the point very “sharply!” And it’s amusing to realize that though circumcision isn’t necessarily a current requirement, on the health side, evidence is very heavily in favor of circumcising males, and there’s talk the Centers for Disease Control may recommend making it compulsory by law for all male infants. So if we don’t circumcise for one reason, we circumcise for another worthwhile reason, but in any case we do circumcise. Kind of like taking a trip by car, or taking a trip by train, same destination; and a very wholesome destination it is. The harvested foreskins from infant circumcisions are used to help burn victims, among other positive applications. Spiritually I think of the circumcision of Christ as the first shedding of His blood, way before being condemned at age 33.
