Circumcision is not a Christian practice.
It’s popular in America because some 19^th Century RFK jr style health freaks convinced everybody that masturbation caused disease.
Kellogg was never actually that influential. People mostly knew he was a crackpot at the time.
An episode of Adam Ruins Everything gave him way too much credit, and then people on the internet just keep repeating it because Kellogg was such a weird guy.
Even biblically speaking, it’s anti-christian. The first chunk of Galatians talks about how they should not force anyone to be circumcised. It goes against the bible to force anyone to be circumcised.
People on here really hate you if you’re a Christian.
It’s sad what America and its bullshit has done to give Christianity a bad name.

I know it more from Islam.
Arguably the same thing in different colors tho.
