My only issue with this is that it is specifically directed at jewish people. This is common practice in america regardless of whether you're jewish or not. For example I'm circumcised and my parents have never been jewish. Otherwise yes, stop circumcising your kids.
Yes, but this is pointed at Judaism because of the whole 'mouth on penis' bit, hence the straw.
But it was normalized through Judaism and Christianity.
Also criticizing Jewish people is no different than criticizing religion as a whole which this sub generally does.
Sort of. It is a religious practice in Judaism, and was normalized in the USA by the Kellogg wellness horseshit as a cure for masturbation, and has almost nothing to do with Christianity. He was ostensibly a Seventh Day Adventist, but his actual beliefs and practices didn't really resemble any organized religion at the time.
I learned the story of circumcision through a Christian church and was told it was god's way of promising he'll never directly punish humanity again. Kinda like the rainbow thing with the flood.
