The more I read the Bible, the more I realize how data rich, concise and unambiguous it is.

Circumcision was/is a sound idea, medically and esthetically/olfactoraly.

Don’t deflect from the issue at hand, which includes the reasoning for circumcision that it poses health risks.. Where’s your proof that such STD’s and diseases affect only uncircumcised men? Waiting.. I thought so. It’s 2014 not 1514.

Perhaps I wasn’t screaming in pain after all. I was probably calling out for my mom to stop the damn doctor from hacking away at my penis.
