I posted the official position statements on male circumcision of various national medical organisations. That doesn’t make me a “reprobate” or a spammer.

@Robin Winkel: Some people think that parts of females are the “source of a lot of sexual sin”, and use that to justify cutting girls. Doesn’t make it right.

Jesus had almost none of his inner foreskin removed btw, because that’s not how they did it back then. They only used to cut off the overhang, and Jesus would have looked a lot more like an intact man than a man who has had a modern western circumcision. The procedure was changed by rabbis (not Christians) in 130AD to prevent Jewish men from pretending to be Gentile.

Funny how Christians didn’t circumcise for the best part of two millennia, and yet because of some seriously bad *medical* opinions in the late 19th century, some Christians are looking for reasons to do it today.

90% of Christians worldwide do *not* circumcise, and the Catholic church has been opposed for centuries.
