The miracle of circumcision

[RonJLow]

Beneficial clotting agents actually peak at 10 days. The ancients did a pretty good job by trial and (deadly) error when they arrived at 8 days.

the only thing thats archaic is your arrogant and disprespectful attitude

circumcision its the covenant between good and the jewish nation from the time of Abraham 4000 years ago / this discovery just approved that only the creator of this world could know that information

[Sambucca]

Soooo...the Jewish babies that hemorrhaged to death this year as a result of botched circumcisions performed on the 8th day of their life were just unlucky. That should make everyone feel better.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. What would be really impressive is if God handed down a simple clotting test so hemophiliacs could be identified before these boys were sacrificed to this archaic ritualistic practice. If you have a blood clotting disease then the 8th day won't matter much.
