I always wondered what the Jewish obsession of circumcision was all about. Well its about life and death. to be uncircumcised in the day was to be seen as unclean which led to deadly consequences . if you dont keep that area clean and the area around the perineum . a really nasty disease called Fourniers Gangrene would kill you. Herod the great and his grandson Herod Agrippa are thought to have died from it. The account in Acts 14 of Herods death is corroborated by Josephus a Roman Jewish historian. up until the last 100 years when we got soap and running water to the masses, being a circumcised male was a good thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fournier%27s_gangrene
