That's what I want to know too! Aaannnd, if you take this line of thinking a bit further, (for argument's sake, let's assume that God does not exist) WHO was the first person to come up with the idea of cutting off a part of the most sensitive organ of his body? That's the sick part.

Blood and/or flesh sacrifice is a common feature in the worship rituals of many ancient cultures. Perhaps circumcision could be considered a more "enlightened" approach to satisfying the bloodlust of the ancient tribal gods. Someone realized that the gods might be appeased even with a part of the body that one can reasonably function without. Better a little skin off the top than say a finger or a toe.

If you'd like to read a more secular, irreverant, and "true story" account of David, read "God Knows" by Joseph Heller ( the same guy who wrote "Catch-22"). It's David's own telling of events of his life, from his death bed. Quite good, and Very Jewish!

Another good read on the topic is King David : a biography / by Steven L. McKenzie (2000) .

the reports for some years show that the number partaking of the memorial emblems increased slightly.

This is all so sad. Absolutely heart-breaking. You're a true friend. You stood up for the dignity of a human being and for principle. That will most certainly come back to you.

Love and respect,

Nvr
