  It happened because an old man during the Bronze Age had a schizophrenic episode and hallucinated god commanding him to cut off his foreskin as proof of loyalty. Everyone just… Went on to humor him I guess and here we are thousands of years later and not much has changed. This is just proof of how traditions can be really stupid.

    Not-so-fun fact, ritual circumcision was practiced by many groups in the ancient world. The oldest written account of Egyptian circumcision is from the 23rd century BCE (which predates its use in Abrhamic religions by well over 1000 years).

      Why? When did some guy say “Hey! I got an idea!” And everyone else said “Sounds great! Me next!”

      I mean, I get the women going along with it, just to see how stupid men could really get, but how did men, who totally ruled the world back then, decide to go along with this?

        Like quite a few early religious rules I will never be convinced that it wasn’t just a bunch of dumbass men couldn’t be arsed to keep their junk clean and got infections thus new ritual was born to eliminate the problem.

  If you do it to a girl it’s straight to prison, but for some reason when it’s a boy they call it tradition
