Major negative Stereotyping of the foreskin by several mainstream religions including Judaism, Islam and to a lesser extent Christianity
(t is not mandatory for Christians to be circumcised) have perpetuated the derision and vilification of a male’s most erogenous zone.
Indeed it would seem that the God of the bible does not want men to have foreskins. Why then does this God not want men and women
access to the foreskin? Could it be that this God does not want humans to enjoy the natural sensations and full unadulterated blissful
pleasures which nature (surely even God ‘himself’) bestowed onto humans? Maybe God made a ‘mistake’ in the design of the human male
because all males are born with a foreskin. If males were meant to be without a foreskin, then that’s how they’d be born, but it isn’t.
It would seem to be yet another major control agenda imposed on humanity, but this time decreed from the highest level and virtually
immune from questioning and challenge.
(12) And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in
the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed. (13) He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought
with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. (14) And the uncircumcised
male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.']
Richard
Dawkins in his book ‘The God Delusion’ calls the God of the bible “a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty,
megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully”.
Erm, indeed…well said Mr Dawkins…Bravo.

The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ is a religious celebration on the eighth day after the birth of Jesus. It observes the day
that Jesus was circumcised, showing by tradition his descent from Abraham. To believers, it is a feast celebrating not only Jesus
consenting to submit to Jewish Law, but also the first time that he spilled his blood for mankind, thus demonstrating not only his
obedience, but also foreshadows the Crucifixion. Jesus' circumcision is mentioned in the gospels of St Luke, and the Feast of the
Circumcision of Christ, still celebrated by many churches, falls on January 1. The first reference to the survival of the severed
foreskin comes in the second chapter of the apocryphal Arabic Infancy Gospel which contains the following story: - [1. And when the
time of his circumcision was come, namely, the eighth day, on which the law commanded the child to be circumcised, they circumcised
him in a cave. 2. And the old Hebrew woman took the foreskin, and preserved it in an alabaster-box of old oil of spikenard. 3. And
she had a son who was a druggist, to whom she said, "Take heed thou sell not this alabaster box of spikenard-ointment, although thou
shouldst be offered three hundred pence for it." 4. Now this is that alabaster-box which Mary the sinner procured, and poured forth
the ointment out of it upon the head and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, and wiped it off with the hairs of her head]. Supposed foreskin
relics began appearing during the Middle Ages and there were at least18 different holy foreskins in various European towns during
this time. These relics began to disappear during the Reformation Iconoclasm of 1566 and by the end of the French Revolution (1799)
most of the Holy Prepuces were lost or destroyed.
