Not only is what you said categorically untrue, but even if it *was,* then by admitting that circumcision's alleged health benefits are legitimate reasons to do it, you necessarily have to allow for research to be done into infant female circumcision to look for parallels.

Don't be daft. Not in ANY way equivalent.

Tell me why it should? We have our own laws and they have nothing to do with another country's religion.

US practices have everything to do with Judaism, which you apparently consider to be the USA religion. USA & Israel are the only countries that routinely mutilate newborn boys, and the form of mutilation is strictly rabbinical, introduced ca. 200 AD:https://www.littleimages.org/drawing-ot-milah-circumcision-vs-modern-periah/ …

False. Male circumcision was common all over the Middle East as far back as ancient Egypt. The Judaic tradition traces to the patriarch Abraham, whom historians place no later than the 6th century BC, possibly as far back as 2000 BC. Claiming introduction ca 200 AD is laughable.

it is embarrassing for you to parade your ignorance in this way. all jewish sources recognize the change to Periah from Milah circumcision in this period. placing Abraham in the 6th century BC is absurd even by a literalist, fundamentalist reading of OThttps://www.i2researchhub.org/articles/brit-milah-a-study-of-change-in-custom/ …

I can't answer for why historians place Abraham as having lived some time between 2000 BC and 600 BC. But that's what they have determined.

i don't know what historians you are referring to. but the Abrahamic story itself belongs to the 6-5 century BC.https://twitter.com/Cukullen/status/1123003323588775936 …

Cú Chulainn @CukullenWhy did Jews adopt this problematic, sickening act as defining their identity? The command that appears in the Abraham cycle in Genesis was written only at the end of the Persian era. Only then did cutting the foreskin of an 8-day-old baby receive the significance of a covenant. https://twitter.com/Cukullen/status/1122875897026088961 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Depends on the historian. Some place Abraham to ca 2000 BC. In any case, the judaic tradition of circumcision far predates 200 AD, which is what you claimed.

communication is impossible in the face of this kind of psychological resistance. maybe look back over these comments at a later date.
