> thread gets posted to oppose circumcision. you: we're under attack! (contribute nothing to the discussion) you: people who oppose circumcision are the real jews! if you're feeling attacked as a christian, it's because you're experiencing the cognitive dissonance associated with trying to justify ot circumcision. would say, a buddhist feel his religion was under attack by a criticism of circumcision? no. imagine a modern carthaginian saying "oh yeah well we used to sacrifice children to moloch, but he changed his mind; that isn't necessary any more". would you find that reasonable? well i don't find it reasonable to say that "god", if he exists, prescribed circumcision and then changed his mind. and no, before you start, i'm not saying christians are comparable to moloch worshippers; obviously christianity is vastly superior. all i'm pointing out is that since circumcision is objectively wrong, that the ot (and the nt, which builds on it) cannot be correct. why do i care about this? because this kind of thinking still affects people today, and infants are still suffering because of it.
