    circumcision is primitive as fuck and should be banned.

    So, just for the benefit of all the backseat drivers here, please answer this hypothetical question for me… would you consider yourself “less” Jewish if all Jewish people on the planet decided to ban circumcision tomorrow?

      i don’t follow your hypothetical.

      I want it to be banned.

      why would it make me less Jewish. at worse one could say it will make future generations less Jewish, but not me, was I won’t be affected.

      however, i disagree with that. getting genitals nipped has nothing to do with being Jewish, and in fact choosing to do so on your own free will means that person is more Jewish

        i don’t follow your hypothetical.

        A lot of edgelord atheists here wants to pretend that circumcision is (somehow) fundamental to Judaism.

          which is bullshit,

          girls are Jewish without circumcisom.

          And Judaism changed so much thought history.

          we don’t do animal sacrifices like the bible tells us to.

          we aren’t polytheistic like early jews.

          So much of Judaism changed over time.

          A modern rabbi and a jew from exodus might as well be two completely different religions.

          And Judaism refusing to change on this makes it a literal primitive ritual. not as in an offensive term, but a literal term.
