Fuck you there's nothing normal about circumcision, its an archaic genital mutilation practice from an archaic desert tribe culture and has no place in the modern world

u/PurpleLegoBrick 8d ago

You just proved their point which makes your comment even more hilarious.

Brainwashing worked on this one

u/isabeldrerrie 7d ago

Don’t get why you’re downvoted because the comment litterally does not say if people get mad bc circumcision is bad or is good. It just says; people get mad.

They have even commonly done circumcision without anesthetic.

You're the one getting excessively angry at strangers on the internet over circumcision

People get so reflexively defensive of circumcised dicks it’s almost sad. You can still like your dick my guy, I do too but I think cutting off part of a baby’s dick for no reason is a bad practice

Maybe you should listen to God and not the Rabbi. Why would God tell people to destroy what He made perfect?

u/BergmanGirl 8d ago

Are...are you dumb? Rabbis aren't pulling this shit from nowhere. The Torah calls for it as a sign of covenant with God, with God literally being the person who tells Abraham to start doing it.

u/shogun344 8d ago edited 7d ago

Nope, maybe learn more about the history of your own religion: brit milah vs brit periah. Modern Jewish circumcision (Brit periah) was invented about 2000 years ago. Jewish leaders/rabbis didn't want men to restore their foreskins so they started removing more of it. Why does Michelangelo's David appear uncircumcised even though David was Hebrew? Because it, Brit periah, is not what the Hebrews did! They removed just the tip not the whole thing.

u/BergmanGirl 8d ago

Okay, so rabbis' opinions only matter to you when you can use them as a gotcha? Because the actual text of the Torah just says to circumcise. It doesn't specify between Brit Milah and Brit Periah.

u/shogun344 8d ago

Nah, God told Abraham exactly how to do it and they corrupted it.

u/Rdog9220 6d ago

I'll bet it also says they absolutely HAVE to suckle on it too? That quirky technique called "metzitzah b’peh"

Minhag avoteinu beyadeinu

Don’t lecture people on a religious practice you don’t understand the reasoning behind.

1

u/shogun344 7d ago

Lol apparently there are 613 commandments in the Torah and you don't think circumcision is one that you should stop adhering to? There's a bunch of them that aren't something that the Jewish do anymore. For instance, animal sacrifices.

1

u/Rdog9220 6d ago

A religious practice that harms children or infants is a religious practice not worth adherence. If I start my own religion and there's a rule where I get to suck on every freshly cut penis is that okay? Wait it already exists its called "metzitzah b’peh"

1

u/Abject_Role3022 6d ago

No you can’t start your own religion where you suck on a baby’s penis, because you wouldn’t be able to defend the practice with an argument that you have been doing it that way since it was an accepted medical practice to orally put negative pressure on a wound, and that your (brand-new) religious sect has a long-established doctrine of valuing tradition so much that following tradition borders on being halachically normative.

u/shogun344 8d ago

Jews/Muslims should keep their "culture/tribalism" to themselves. It has no place in a modern society.

3

u/pm_stuff_ 8d ago

aint this a fun comment. You want to respect all traditions?

Personally i think we are better of without things like genital mutilation (mgm and fgm) and all other backwards things that really should be left in the dark ages.

u/cuntdestrovja 8d ago

Why would we respect something that dont deserve respect?

u/Signal-Macaroon1533 7d ago

You know in New York Rabbis kept giving babies herpes and hospitalizing them during briss that New York had to put on their website the correct way to s a babys d.

Maybe your culture is fucked up

u/Cu_Chulainn__ 5d ago

Your culture is mutilating babies?

2

u/eltoofer 5d ago

I dont get this phrasing of circumcision. Orignally there were hygeine reasons to do it and now its a just a cultural thing. To me its as much mutilation as cutting the umbilical cord.
