| Topic | Uncircumcised guys be like |
| Sahuagin 08/28/17 9:10:42 PM #44: | Locke90 posted... speaking of religion Ive often wondered when this topic comes up as to how they could think that humans are born perfect yet they are quite happy to see the foreskin as a design flaw I mean if they think that then why have they not sent a letter to whatever denomination they subscribe to addressed to "god" complaining about this issue. one way of looking at it is: - "god" isn't a literal being, he/it is just "the universe", "the chaotic world". - humans at some point discovered that they could improve the future by sacrificing things in the present. - burnt offerings/sacrifices are an attempt to celebrate (or superstitiously invoke) this concept by sacrificing something of value in the present. - circumcision is a more permanent attempt to "make a deal with the world" (covenant) that you will sacrifice something of real significance now for benefits later. it's sort of like a karma thing. even though it's steeped in superstition, it does makes some sense at a very base level and it is better to be aware of the idea of sacrifice and be a person who is willing to make sacrifices. being able to withhold satisfaction in the short term for benefits in the long-term is one thing that majorly separates us from other animals. --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
