    That’s not exactly what happened. Circumcision was already a custom, but the rest is spot on.

      What do you mean? Do you believe Abraham actually existed? Because according to the Bible God invented MGM with Abraham. And I thought we were talking about what the Bible said and how it was crazy, not whatever a historical Abraham might have actually done.

        Not sure what a movie studio has to do with anything, I was just pointing out that circumcision was probably a custom in that area already.

          MGM is an acronym of male genital mutilation

            What an odd name for a movie studio. No wonder they shortened it.

              You think that ‘circumcision’ is not genital mutilation?

                  Well what is it then? I suppose you’re also disregarding that fact that type 1 and 2 FGM (the most common kinds) remove an equivalent amount to MGM. I am not trying to minimise the experience of FGM survivors, but it is ludicrous to say that cutting off parts of the male genitalia is not male genital mutilation, just as it is female genital mutilation if it’s done to females.

            At some point people have to get over the memey catch phrases and start to talk like adults about this situation.

          You’ll have to specify the location and year you think this all took place in.

      Not really.

      Circumcision randomly starts in many places. None of them related to hygiene.

        The procedure is associated with reduced rates of sexually transmitted infections[6] and urinary tract infections.[1][7][8] This includes reducing the incidence of cancer-causing forms of human papillomavirus (HPV) and significantly reducing HIV transmission among heterosexual men in high-risk populations;[9]

            Atavism. We were evolved for different conditions. Likely different climate and definitely not wearing clothes.

            But I do not claim that it is better to do that. Only that there were medical reasons to do so (even if possibly overall not beneficial).
