Default In God's image?

I was discussing circumcision with a friend (as you do in Europe) and the phrase "made in God's image" popped into my head. I started wondering about his odd Covenant with the Jews. I'll never get over the weirdness of having your deity ask you and all your clan to cut off part of your penis but never mind that. End result is a more attractive unit so no harm done. My question is... as we are all made in God's image... but the Chosen people are required to do a little hardcore bodmod... is God cut or uncut? Of course God is infallible but I can't but think he had second thoughts about the look of the penis. Maybe he designed it at first to be protected since it is the most precious thing a man has. But then changed his mind and opted for form over function.

Who knows? Maybe she DID have second thoughts about the design . . . .

Well, not an attached one. But you should see the ones she keeps in the nightstand drawer!

First, penises are only attractive that way because you're used to them. I'm sure that a big, for me really big, pink ring of scar tissue around the penis looks weird to a Euro that's not used to seeing it. I'm sure that all the women who see American porn aren't demanding that their men get it done. Certainly, the Euro men aren't getting done wanting to be like their American porn role models.

At least not that I know of.

I'm reminded of Bhutto when they asked her if she missed her amputated clit and she said, "I never missed it." Yes, stupid, that's cause they cut it off.

Secondly, I do not believe that Christians are required to get it.

Opinion:

It's my opinion that since some many Jews are in control of our medical establishment they foisted the disgusting practice on the population. It is not popular anywhere else in the civilized world.

If I had a time machine I'd put a bullet directly into the head of the man who did it to me.
