I'm serious. What could be the reason? If He doesn't want us to have it, why didn't He just leave it out?

HAHAHAHAHA Did you all see "Amandas" answer? She believes men without foreskin cannot reproduce! She also doesn't believe anyone circumsized anymore. Unbelievable! Pay attention in health class honey poo!
In any event, the covenant with god was for the Jews, not anyone else. And it didn't require a complete amputation of the foreskin like the Americans practice today. All it required was that blood be drawn--usually they just made a small cut. They didn't cut it off.

He doesn't. It's not required that anyone but the Jews cut it off, because it is a sign of the covenant between G-d and the Jews.
Amanda--get into a different health class, and fast.

Ok, I agree that it was an OT law, and we are not doing this nowadays, but the reason is not because He hates it (I don't think), but because it made man reliant on Him. Without it, man could not reproduce, so it was only through the grace of God that any children were born. Every child born to the wife of a circumsized man was, literally, a miracle.

Circumcision was a physical token of the Covenant made to Abraham. It was specific to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).

IT WAS AN OLD TESTAMENT LAW, WE LIVE BY NEW TESTAMENT LAWS NOW, WELL AFTER JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, SO IT IS UP TO THE PERSON NOW TO DO WHAT HE FEELS RIGHT, BUT IT IS ALSO A HEALTH ISSUE, IT IS CLEANER AND MALES WHO DO HAVE CIRCUMCISION HAVE LESS PROBLEMS LATER IN LIFE, BUT TO EACH HIS OWN
