Demi and Carla, you two may chuckle and chortle all you want about the foolishness of man re: unnecessary and unwise medical procedures, and you may mock the fact that men do even wise procedures improperly, but to mock the proper implementation of the procedure of circumcision puts you both in the uneasy position of mocking God Himself for it was He who instituted circumcision in the first place for male Israelites. I think God knows what He is doing, and, as a matter of fact, has an intellect that far surpasses either yours or mine. Properly done circumcision has a proven track record of - yes - reducing infecitons AND preventing both penile cancer and cervical cancer in monogamous couples (I am talking about true monogamy-ie one man and one woman married as virgins for life -- NOT the serial "monogamy" we have today.)
