NEWS: Couple Plans to Sacrifice Children for Jesus

Oh. I thought it was because it was very dangerous to eat swine while in a desert area (food poisoning) and that not being able to bathe very often could lead to health issues if the foreskin was left on. I figured tying it into religion was a way to make sure everyone complied, for their health's sake. I haven't done too much research into it.

This just proves that religion is evil.

I used to know a person whose uncle was a medic in the Western Desert in WW2. Sand under the foreskin causes ulcers on the glans.

From Reduced Shakespeare's "The Bible: The Complete Word of God Abridged"

"Abraham, give me your foreskin."
"What's that?"
"The useless lump of flesh at the end of a penis."
"I thought that was a man."
"Other end."
"Oh. Why do you want my foreskin, O Lord?"
"I'm making a wallet"
"Ah."
"When I rub it, it turns into a suitcase! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, it's a sign of our covenant."

Ah.. so it all comes down to an ouchy on someone's winkle a couple of thousand years ago.

Religion. Heh.

see....the whole point of the crucifixion thing was so...you know...you wouldn't HAVE to make sacrifices...I thought that was a central tenent of chrisitanity...Is it tenent or tennett? or some other variation?

Man...it's good thing that Gutenburg used the printing press so the common man could read the bible...clearly this woman has been touched by christ's message.

Mental illness is a real thing and it does exist in this world.
I was amazed at the emphasis on religion in this thread.

see, kids make people crazy.

No, it proves there's a crazy lady in New Hampshire.

Exactly; thank you.
