in the USA circumcision became a secular matter because of the anti-masturbation quack Dr. Kellog. Even Christian children were largely circumcised throughout the 20th century. Circumcision should be abolished either way.
Sort of, but the anti-masturbation (and broadly anti-sensuous pleasure) beliefs of J.H. Kellogg were very much informed by his Seventh Day Adventist beliefs, and comported well with the general puritan Christian morality that pervaded American culture to an even greater degree at the time.
yeah i was pointing it out for those who don't live in the USA because it's a unique weirdness that I think is only found here. I don't think it happens in England but I could be wrong about that.
Circumcision is cringe but the nazis get weirdly hung up on it because they assume it's some kind of Jewish plot to take over Christian societies rather than just being a kinda fucked up ritual that is incidental to their culture.
