it seems like a bizzaro version of the same thing

Because double standard is real

I guess it shouldn't surprise me Shapiro has yet another double standard

Which is crazy since his wife is a doctor

So you'd expect more

religion will always supercede science

even among the 'scientists'

it's the nature of human beings

But apparently a religious rite is more important than something objectively immoral imo

I generally take issue with saying stuff like that but it seems like the pork stuff

just an arcaic rule

glad I don't have to worry about that

genuinely, life without bbq would be awful

I mean I could see the argument of cleanliness being valid like 3000 years ago due to limited hygiene habits and access to showering/bathing

sure

Buuuut its 2019

Wash your peepees folks

Dick cheese is not attractive

We have people who still shit in the streets

but that's why the scriptures said that the new covenant does not require such things

Do you really expect them to know how to wash their dicks lol

Like, the way I see it, I don't have much of an issue with how it's practiced where I grew up

there;s a verse somewhere where Paul is arguing with Christians supporting circumcision and he says words to the effect of 'if you believe it so much cut your entire dick off'

I mean.... if you're shitting in the streets you're either from a third world country or you're mentally ill
There's no excuse for someone in a developed country like USA

ie, it occurs when the boy is 11 - 12

also, yeah, third world country

*looking at you, LA and San Fran*

afaik though the way it's done now is the foreskin is opened up and sewn

Not cut

cut off*

@A. Spader Seattle belongs on that list too

Although, you know, not an expert

I had mine cut the old fashioned way

I mean

lmfao

neither have I

Sit in front of the guy doing it with a machete

get screamed at with

"Oh shit there's a lizard falling on your face"

_chop_

😬
