The obsession with foreskins is more of a USAian thing from some corn flake capitalist.
No, it’s really from the Old Testament, with over a dozen mentions (I think the total is 14). Search “foreskin” KJV in your favorite Bible search engine.
Jesus also said “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:14). Foreskins are a repeated part of those jots and tittle laws.
All of that foreskin business could have instead been admonitions against slavery, child marriage, or further dietary rules for that matter.
It’s there, for all eternity, genital mutilation and other stupidity, preserved for our enjoyment and/or embarrassment.
