re: #856 SanFranciscoZionist You’ve got me thinking now. I am gonna ask my mother why it is such a big deal to circumcise. I always thought it was a religious thing. She was raised in a Catholic orphanage. It is just the way we do it in my family…extended and otherwise. I can’t remember ever hearing that it was for cleanliness purposes, so I have to believe it was for religious purposes instead.
