On spiritual terms I'm surprised GOD didn't design the human from birth without a foreskin that he make so many 'doctors' very wealthy disfiguring baby genitalia. I'm sure GOD would like us to concentrate on better things like eradicating poverty and making world peace for a happier creation than have us pre-occupied in these barbaric acts.

Very questionable "studies" all seem to suggest that it "could" just "might" decrease it, but there is no observable causal link between circumcision and a reduction in HIV transmission, and this "reduction" is simply not observed anywhere else in the world. HIV is more prominent among the CIRCUMCISED in Cameroon, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda and Swaziland for example. Additionally, according to the CIA Factbook, we in the US have a higher HIV prevalence than 53 countries where circumcision is rared or not practiced, even though 80% of our male population is circumcised from birth. We have more HIV than Mexico.<br /><br />Trying to redress an old myth to look like "new technology" will be a fallacy I will be tackling in the near future.<br /><br />Ask your grandparents what they think of metzitzah b'peh. Who knows! Perhaps there must be some "medical benefit" to exposing a child to herpes directly to a wound in his penis early.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-11815430622720492662014-11-07T23:31:45.977-08:002014-11-07T23:31:45.977-08:00I was actually looking for Joseph in heiroglyphics...I was actually looking for Joseph in heiroglyphics (Reading through Genesis)Yes circumcision was a physical covenant to God. Although it is a fact that it decreased HIV in Africa. That wasn't just a potential medical condition but actually meant life or death.
