Controversy over removing the foreskin from the penis is going to persist as long as people exist, especially due to the emotionalism concerning absence of choice on the part of the circumcised male. The moment will never arrive when there is universal consensus. The reason is that the old devil successfully misleads so many into defending a body part which has no acceptable place in decent society. Barbara Kay, a Jewish columnist from Canada, spoke of “excising a bacteria trap.” That is an acceptable description. Many Christians in the Philippines circumcise their males, and the emphasis is on sanitation rather than spirituality. I believe I’ve contributed enough to this discussion and leave the field to the rest of you.
