. The Torah has been increasingly validated by historical research &material findings &never once invalidated Any contrary statement is unsupported speculation All academic work is loaded with suppositions &qualifiers Bottom line is universal Jewish practice on the ground

The members of the Smegma Platoon have psychological issues w/circumcision, the origin of which is obscure & probably differs. Some complain of decreased sensation. Others feel cheated & angry. Others fixate on Jews. The overwhelming # of circumcised men are fine w/it. Not them.

There's no evidence most circumcised men are "fine w/it." This study addressed that issue & found 64% of men cut as neonates had a negative view of it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319635437_Attitude_Toward_One's_Circumcision_Status_Is_More_Important_than_Actual_Circumcision_Status_for_Men's_Body_Image_and_Sexual_Functioning … The decreased sensation is a valid reason to object to it & why it's not ok to force it on an infant.

An online survey? Very scientific.. One wonders about the participation of the Smegma Platoon.. "A total of 811 men (367 circumcised as neonates, 107 circumcised in childhood, 47 circumcised in adulthood, and 290 intact) completed an online survey."

Your attempt to discredit, with what you think is a clever derogatory label, the views of the hundreds of circumcised men in that study who said they negatively view the circumcisions that were forced on their bodies is just another of your empty, ad hominem attacks.

“only those who consider circumcision necessary or want it should do it” That contradicts the Torah, which requires slaves to be circumcised.

. Obviously I'm speaking of free modern societies Circumcision was a requirement in the Torah Society, in the Holy Land dedicated to serving God We have none such today You keep switching up history science religion Only unchanging fact is Jewish male circumcision on 8th day

False. Jewish males have been circumcised at different ages. Abraham was cut at late age. Joshua’s army was cut before going to war, similar to how warrior tribes in Africa are cut as a test of strength and courage.

. You can't count Abraham There was no covenant before And Joshua's army needed circumcision because it wasn't done in the willderness while moving around

That isn't an explanation for why the men in Joshua's army hadn't been circumcised on the eighth day. They did everything else "while moving around."
