>>17861191 (OP)It has nothing to do with religion if you bothered to research it for 5 minutes. Go look up John Harvey Kellogg. He and his brother were a part of the eugenicist movement and were very puritanical in their social outlook. They invented the Kellogg’s cereal brand for the same reason they advocated circumcision, which was sexual modesty, because they thought this would prevent masturbation. They thought masturbation had serious dysgenic effects because they were kinda retarded. I’m familiar with all this because they’re from my home state of Michigan. They operated out of Battle Creek.
They aren’t Judaizers if that’s what you were insinuating. The reason so many “Christian” Americans try to justify circumcision is because they have no idea how the practice became popularized in America or why it’s necessary (it’s not) so these historically and theologically illiterate hyperliberalized post-Awakening protestant will simply tell you “well it’s in da Bahbul” while more secular or atheist Americans will simply justify it by saying that it’s what their parents did so they’ll do it to, or for health reason even though those risks have been debunked.
If they were doing it for religious reasons, they’d be risking hell. But that’s not why they are doing it. They’re risking hell because they’re putting their children through unnecessary pain, stress, trauma for a supposed eugenic effect that’s not even real. I guess you can say it prevents masturbation more than if you were uncut but that’s not okay
