Subject: RE: BS: Strange Things You Likely Didn't Know
Well, if this subject is going to be discussed at length here (no pun intended) it should probably be spun off into a new thread.

I'm not sure what 'superstition' you're referring to. Circumcision, like many other rules of Judaism, is hygienic in origin.

Jews today realize that pork, properly processed, is perfectly safe to eat. They don't eat it out of respect for their heritage. If you consider that 'superstition', you're entitled to your opinion.

Uncircumcised penises are not safe at all. Cancer of the penis is virtually unknown in circumcised penises, one of the most common cancers in the uncircumcised. Of course, the treatment for cancer of the penis is just what you think it is.

Add to that the fact that uncircumcised penises are ugly as hell and you are way beyond 'superstitious belief'.
