Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    The First Testament in the Christian Bible (the entire first half) is the Torah, or Jewish Bible.

      Most call it the Old Testament, and not quite. The Old Testament is a superset of the Torah. But contains many books that aren’t part of the Torah.

        Tl;Dr: The Old Testament is included for history and context. Part of the thing Jesus does is free them from having to follow the old laws, which is why pastors quoting Leviticus to justify ostracizing gay people (or anything else) are full of shit.
