lol. How could you go ever see your pecker and NOT be reminded of why that was done?
God does not ask us to do something we cannot or do not know how to do. His yolk is light. God does not explain to us things that we cant make some sense of. Else we would never have any understanding. Just as we explain to young children in simplified ways or show them things that are simpler to do, God does the same for us.
It is highly visible to yourself and those that see you naked.
Would I personally have chosen something else? sure. Is it effective as a reminder of the covenant? VERY.
I mean it's effective enough that even 2000+ years later people still remember it, and people who don't do this, still know about it and its reason.
I am laughing at your arguments because they are so weak that it's fun.
Using religion to deceive people how? How exactly am I deceiving people?
Most likely, you have such a weak argument and you cant really argue against my points to you attack me instead. It's a common tactic for the losing side or an argument.
You're deceiving people by telling them to mutilate their children's genitals, saying that it will remind me them of a contract they have with Yahweh, who you call "God". This is deception because the creator of the universe does not want you to mutilate your genitals.
It's also a deception because you cannot be honestly reminded of something you never did, in this case, agreeing to mutilate your genitals in exchange for anything.
And since you seem so learned on this subject, why don't inform us as to the nature of this Covenant? What do the people who circumcise get in return for upholding their end of the agreement? Magical powers? The ability to brainwash others and take their children?
How do you know what goes through the heart/mind of God? There really is no way to comprehend the full nature of God, so you must rely on what wisdom God has given us. The Old & New Testaments. But it appears that you don't believe in them so there really isnt anything more I can do.
I guess you arent from an Abrahamic religion so you just wouldnt understand. or at least it seems to be that way.
Laughing at genital mutilation? You're a snake that uses religion to deceive people.
