The Feast of the Circumcision: A Blessed New Year!

[ABikerSailor]

Not eating pork? Simple.............because pigs have a parasite called trichinosis, and if the meat isn't treated properly with cooking and other measures, the parasite can pass to the person who eats it. Same thing with how long you could leave food out before having to throw it away, because there was no refrigeration back then.

Now you got me wondering if I really should give away this slice of pork pie.....

Modern day processing methods of slaughtering pigs has evolved to the point where pork is just as safe as any other meat. Only trouble is, back in the ancient times, there was no way to make the meat safe to eat. Now? Because of the technology we now have, the rule of not eating pork is pretty much outdated, and has been since modern times. In some cases, when you see a hole in the ham that looks like someone took out a small round piece of meat, that is where a trichinosis worm once lived. Sorry if this turns you off pork products, but it's true.

But like I said, modern processing techniques make pork safe to eat now.

So why didn't God just make cocks the way he wanted them in the first place? I mean hell, he had an extra day right? Just loafed on the 7th?

It's something about a covenant between mankind and God, and being circumcised sets us apart from the animals.

Me personally? I'm circumcised, and have talked with some friends of mine who aren't, and I'm glad I am. Less maintenance and hassle.

Fun God fact:
God told Abraham to circumcise Isaac on the 8th day for a reason that only God knew, and was much later discovered by science. A child's clotting factor is at it's peak on day 8. God understood Vit. K before we did.

Vitamin K is not a clotting factor-----it is involved in the ACTION of several of
the clotting factors-----specifically II VII IX and X. Ie without the vitamin
K-------they don't do it right (sorry----my new year's resolution is ----"BE A PICKY BITCH" ) a muslim colleague of mine lost a brother to a muslim circ-------the kid
bled out Muslims circumcise at about age ??12. According to legend------
Abraham did IT on himself (ouch!!!)

I've yet so see any evidence of much difference between man and animal, with or without foreskin.

The Jews also had laws on not eating anything that did not have a split hove..

Bingo! There's your clotting mechanism. Highly vascularized area.

What demography in the world has the largest amount of circumcised humans?

Muslims. But, January 1st was the Feast of the Circumcision Day in the Catholic Church and was shared with a Marian Feast Day. Now the Feast of the Circumcision Day kind of disappeared. The Orthodox still has it.

No, it was still a Catholic holy-day when I was a wee tyke.

Friggin' weird thing to plant a holy-day on innit?

I have heard that it was but not anymore. How was it celebrated?

Since "God" is a human invention I suspect it had a lot more to do with trial and error over the years, including a number of infants who bled to death for a wacko superstition.

Maybe, if they were atheist's babies. If they followed God's advice, they didn't bleed to death. That's the point. Now it is the doctor's advice because now they know the same thing someone else knew 4,000 years ago that prevented babies from bleeding to death. It is once again, science discovering God's knowledge. Just like science recently finding God's hyper dimensions. Exciting stuff.

First time I saw an uncircumcised male, I was in Jr. high school and participating in athletics. I wondered why his only looked like he had part of it, because you couldn't see the head. And no, I didn't look because I'm gay, I looked because I wasn't so shy that I had to shower with my eyes closed.

HOOF----or HOOVES. You have never seen a case of CYSTICERCOSIS.
------treatable now----but the diagnosis is often missed
