[NikaInParis]

That's one of the things we share with them
Bonus point: if a Muslim finds himself in a country that has no halal food, they should look for kosher food as an alternative

 

[Mathias]

And not only muslims or jews remove their foreskin. It is thought to be good for health by many other individuals who aren't remotely close to any religion. Never knew if this was true though

removing the foreskin keeps things much cleaner

It's not a big deal if it is or not. It's not like those who didn't get their foreskin removed were dirty either.

I m not talking from a religious standpoint

the chances of cancer increases by a large margin if its not kept clean

if people can keep it clean then fine but many people don't

Its not. It provides moisture, making it possible to flush out foreign matter, keeps the intended function of being sensitive to stimulation (remocing it results in desensitizing).

If you know how to shower properly, foreskin removal gives no benefit but is detrimental.

It should only be done in cases of phimosis for example.

Question:if religion is man made.Why is it that every civilization has had a form of it?Why do people crave for something that doesn't exist?

fear, mystery, using it to control people. . .

if religion isnt man made, how come there is this plethora of mutually exclusive religions?

Different cultures,means different interpretations.Some people did different mythical explanations for natural phenomena like rain,thunder,fire and so on...

 

[Okamakama]

Psalm 91:3-4

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

That’s not a good argument at all. The fact that all major religions have the concept of one supreme God even if there are elements of polytheism in most said religions goes to show the opposite. The belief in one God is also already inherent in humans, as studies show with children as young as 5. Atheism is just denialism dawg, there’s a reason why it’s as present as it is in an age where callousness, individualism and opulence are at an all time high.

I wouldn't see why not, there is a lot of spirituality and great teachings from Philosophers some are also religious also thanks @Logiko for the thread.
