You have to ask yourself, did the Lord actually require that, or did the people running the religion come up with that on their own? Ask yourself this as well. If God created us the way we are, why the hell would he make us do that to our bodies? Wouldn't that be God admitting he screwed up his creation? I'm not buying it, at all. God never told anyone to chop the ends of their dicks off. Someone, at some point, thought, "I wish that wasn't there so I could get to the good part."
Except for the fact that in Genesis 17, God literally told Abraham to circumcise "every male among you who is eight days old". Genesis 17:10-14
You can quote all the scripture you want, but it will never mean God actually said to do so. It would be God admitting he screwed up while making that part of the human body. At some point you have to realize that the written word has been used to get people to believe and behave a certain way the same way media works today.
Don't get me wrong, I fully believe in our Creator. I just do not believe everything written in the Bible, and other places, is the complete truth. People have used "words from God" for thousands of years to get what they want. There is a heck of a lot of propaganda in the written word.
A perfect example: Deuteronomy 25:11-12
I have a hard time believing that edict was handed down by God and not just from someone in power that had that happen to them and then used their position to say that God forbade it.
The point of the circumcision was a sign and symbol that your family was that of one of worship to the one true God. It wasn't about fixing a mistake, it was trusting that if you followed through that you were on the same grounds as other within the faith.
That’s like saying why would God make people sinners or have sinful hearts or even the option to become a sinner? When we know it is wrong and God doesn’t like it… But that doesn’t mean God screwed up, by making people born into sin.
