The Bible also says disobedient children should be murdered. The Bible says that if you rape a child, you have to give her dad $50 and marry her. The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.
It says a lot of very stupid tripe, that’s why nobody bothers following it.
Like Old Testament was for the one group in the area who removed those as children. No adult spy would do that for cover, and it would take substantial time to heal to pass
So it wasn’t “we love foreskins, gimmie them foreskins” as much as “give me the one thing that proved you killed an adult man who wasn’t part of us”.
It was genocide, if you weren’t part of ‘the tribe’ you were an enemy and should be killed.
Just So stories about the logical reason for genital mutilation don’t hold water. Even in the Bible, there are accounts of how the Israelites could tell friend from foe: they did it by accent (search on “shibboleth” for more details), not by examining the guy’s schwantz. Much easier from a safe distance.
Also, many other tribal societies also practiced circumcision and other forms of genital mutilation, some living adjacent to each other. And snipping is also practiced in Islam, which encompasses multiple nationalities.
He’s not wrong from a BIBLICAL standpoint.

That makes sense tho…

So yeah, totally evil, but logical.

“Shibboleth” was used in a battle between the Gileadites and the Ephramites. Both Israelite, both circumcised.
And Islam didn’t exist in the old testament time; they are also an Abrahamic religion.

Understood! Hope you have a good day!
And worrying about the appropriate nomenclature for mythical figures is an idle pastime.

You can write god. Nothing happens. You look like a fool.

The Israelites in the bible never took responsibility except for when they were forced to.
Modern Israel doesn’t have any prophets. Looks like someone else is gonna have to hold them accountable.
