You know, I have a personal theory that this particular law was established as a measure of genital hygiene, since without the foreskin dirt does not accumulate on the glans; but over the years it was distorted until it became a divine mandate that is just for the sake of it.

The best way to test the resolve of your fellow cultists is by making them commit to very rigorous rules that affect their life significantly.

I mean if you can get them to cut of a piece of their reproductive organs, you have insanely loyal followers. Also resisting something to eat that is very tasty, of it said 'don't eat shit' it's not a very hard rule to follow.

Somehow this works like a drug for some people. There a reason that many rehabs are ran by religious fellows.

Religions prey on the weak, hence the rehabs and homeless shelters. It's not charity it's recruitment

How tf did this even start? Some guy was like, "you know the tip of the dick? Cut it off your children" and they just went along with it

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Unlike the suckers doing it for 'esthetic reasons'

"We're going to cut off (part of) your Johnson!"

[–] theshoeshiner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking Nazarenes. Nothing changes.

Casual reminder that many religious rules were just basic Hygiene practices from prehistoric times which were later absorbed into the local beliefs.

You are quite right. There is a tribe in East Africa which makes a hole on their lower lip and place a huge disk into it. It is theorised that the practice started to prevent lockjaw disease that may have been prevalent in the area eons ago. I am not sure how this prevents lockjaw but maybe for them it works.

Thou shall try really really really hard not to kill anyone, unless they pray to a different invisible made up man in the sky to the one you do.

God hates the tips of little baby dicks

You can tell when a tradition was set in by the hidden undertone it allowed to play for it. "Time for your circumcision... Whoops! Guess you are my eunuch surrogate now, totally didn't mean to eliminate the competition / your genes from my gene pool of surrogates!" Yeah, probably looking too much into it, it's not like it's a practice associated with a culture heavily associated with a god's chosen master race ideology or anything. Totes just a coincidence that it was fabulously sported by the slave loving Egyptians and cultures famous for their obsession with slave land owners of the times as a "rite of passage". ^/actualshitcomment^
