      . Except that there are multiple references to circumcision in the Torah &Prophets in different contexts, and your absurd statement has no basis whatsoever, why the hell would they do that? Know how many crackpot ideas all begin with the rabbis or priests changing &lying etc?pic.twitter.com/fwueznsJIN

      The only references in the Torah to infant #circumcision being a requirement are found in Genesis & Leviticus, and both of them were added by the priests only after the Babylonian Captivity. My statement is based on academic research into the drafting history of the Torah.

      Why the priests so revised the Torah is a good question, since child #circumcision on its face isn't something that could possibly have been decreed by a beneficent God. Likely they were cut themselves, & so thought all males should be, i.e., exactly what many cut men think today

      . Circular reasoning I have to admit if God had not specified circumcision I wouldn't have come up with the idea myself It doesn't explain why cultures other than Jews circumcise Or why epidemiological evidence shows public health benefits of circumcision

      In his book Marked in Your Flesh, anthropologist Leonard Glick explains (Chapter 1, footnote 6): "many Middle Eastern peoples, including the ancient Hebrews, genitally altered some boys or youths as a *custom*, [but] it was not until around 500 BC that the Judeans defined...

      . How does he know that? Assume I'm not reading his book I assume there's zero evidence beyond such phrases as 'assuredly', 'without a doubt' I have read many such posturing bloviations

      When your #circumcision position depends entirely on your uncritically accepting an authority in which God is said to condone slavery & when you refuse to accept clear evidence said authority (Gen 1:1-3) is incorrect, you're in no position to ask epistemological questions. #i2

      The Bible makes it clear it’s not the parent’s choice but I’ve not seen one of these circumcision defenders disavow parental choice.

      Some of them do actually. Not many, but some of them are quite clear, even today, and even for reasons that have nothing to do with religion, that they think boys should be circumcised even if their parents object. #i2

      This mother, for example, was coerced into signing a "consent" for her son to be circumcised, over her objections. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/charges-dropped-against-boynton-mom-who-fought-son-circumcision/2GDmBYbkPXC8prlU91r1aL/ … But whatever, keep going with your refusals to believe the irrefutable truth b/c it makes you uncomfortable. #i2
