I'm sorry but like I can't reconcile the whole "humans were made in God's image" but also like "yeah you need to cut the skin off the baby's wang because God said so even though he created them with that in the first place" thing.
Gadfly (-booq-)@Elizafox Okay to be clear this isn't arguing with you because it doesn't matter to me (and also I'm an atheist so I'm not even sure I disagree with the general thrust),
but this is pretty reconcileable with preexisting theological moves,
using the "so that we can -- in the image of god -- likewise participate in the act of creation".
Which I'm bringing up just because it's a cool piece of theologizing that I think it's nice if more people knew it.
