Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I am Jewish, still sweaty from dancing in Simcha torah.

circumcision is primitive as fuck and should be banned.

if you want one get one when you're an adult, just make sure you ask not to use any pain control or local anethesia.

So, just for the benefit of all the backseat drivers here, please answer this hypothetical question for me... would you consider yourself "less" Jewish if all Jewish people on the planet decided to ban circumcision tomorrow?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i don't follow your hypothetical.

I want it to be banned.

why would it make me less Jewish. at worse one could say it will make future generations less Jewish, but not me, was I won't be affected.

however, i disagree with that. getting genitals nipped has nothing to do with being Jewish, and in fact choosing to do so on your own free will means that person is more Jewish

i don’t follow your hypothetical.

A lot of edgelord atheists here wants to pretend that circumcision is (somehow) fundamental to Judaism.

which is bullshit,

girls are Jewish without circumcisom.

And Judaism changed so much thought history.

we don't do animal sacrifices like the bible tells us to.

we aren't polytheistic like early jews.

So much of Judaism changed over time.

A modern rabbi and a jew from exodus might as well be two completely different religions.

And Judaism refusing to change on this makes it a literal primitive ritual. not as in an offensive term, but a literal term.
