Perhaps God was accidentally circumcised when he got careless with one of the crocs during the six days of creation. (would that be the 5th or 6th day, by the way?)

I don't know, but it was the sixth day, that would explain why he had to have a nice lie-down on the seventh.

"Hey Micah, we've sure been having a lot of babies bleed to death. God sent Uri-el down last night and he said that when we get the next batch in some we'll just pretend to circumcise, and then the others we'll do on different days after birth and see which ones don't bleed so much". Can you prove it didn't happen that way? Thought so. cheers, Michael |

"If God is all-knowing, and made Man in his (God's)image, why did he put the foreskin on, only to order that it has to be cut off?
Is God himself circumcised, or not?" If you go back to the older Mesopotamian stories that predate the Bible you'll find that the gods, at least the male gods, had no foreskin. They thought it was weird that the humans they created had them. I guess they figured it wasn't important enough to go back to the drawing board for a design change. |
