It's heinous perversion masked as religious tradition.

It is not a tradition, it is a biblical command. I'll take the commands of G-d against human ignorance and such wicked babblings any day. It isn't about hygiene - it is about obedience to the Creator, and your comments only reveal your ignorance of Scripture.

Genesis 17:9-11: And God said to Abraham: 'As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.'

Luke 2:20-21: Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Y'shua [Jesus], the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

As you can see, the 'practice' is not heinous, it is a mark of a follower of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Christians as well can see that Y'shua [Jesus] was circumcised.

It is typically pagan to renounce the biblically-mandated things of Scripture, all the while parading idolatrous and wicked perversions as 'right and normal'. Like the ancient Greeks who had similar 'issues' that you have - and all the while practiced all manner of perversions. I'll take the faithful practice against your Greek-style paganism.

Genesis 17:9-11: And God said to Abraham: 'As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.'

The *Jews* are Abraham's descendents, not Gentiles. Why should Christians do this to their children? What's important is that your HEART is circumcized. If you are a Jew, I am sure God would prefer your heart be circumcized over your penis, or both in your case? It's your choice, I won't make any recommendations for Jews, but Jews should not push this on others either. Besides, that law was in effect before modern sanitary aids. I would circumcize my boy if there were no access to soap and running water in the desert too.

Christians as well can see that Y'shua [Jesus] was circumcised.

Yes He was, but Saul of Tarsus, probably one of the 4 or 5 most Godly men ever to have lived, said neither circumcision, nor uncircumcision is of any meaning. He said true circumcision is that of the heart, not of the body. I believe what he wrote.
