I have a friend that was circumcised and when discussing him with another of my friend, it often comes to why is he so much like he is and the answer we find is often "because he was circumcised". Not sure how exact that is, but I'd say he is the person in my life with the strongest negative tendencies on a general human level.
I think the practice aims at hurting a male when they are at their most vulnerable state, betraying within them their bond with their parents, as to create a greater potential toward the STS path.
There is a lot of good in the Bible mixed with the bad. A lot of the dietary and other covenants have health benifit. Pork for instance having one of the more difficult parasites to kill by cooking might have just been better off avoided in those times without refrigeration and less understanding of killing bacteria and parasites.
Other info about using separate cuttlery for meat ect seems more like the all knowing mom in the sky helping you avoid food poisoning via cross contamination.
As to curcumsision I am not a male but I can say I have suffered greatly over the years from bladder infections that would have killed me many times over in older times when I was with a man who was uncircumcisrd but clean. I actually was given antibiotics to take every time we had sex after enough of them as it was standard procedure. Think of a less hygienic time, less bathing, no antibiotics. The foreskin is a warm damp place perfect for bacteria growth.
Comparison never had one bladder infection with a circumcised partner.
Not one. And sometime it was hot sweaty sex...
So to go with the dietary Mom advice above I see at least from my experience that it would have saved many women’s lives in a time without antibiotics and if you want a “chosen people” to flourish and go forth and multiply ensuring the women baring them have decreased risk of dying(yes it can kill you as it goes to your kidneys) would actually be helpful to increasing live births.
